When a KPI is monitored, you can view its chart in KPI charts. For more information on how to display a KPI, see the chapter (DI-2005) Display KPIs.
It might happen that a KPI is present in Insights, but KPI values aren't displayed in charts. This can be caused by a fact that you haven't started the monitoring of a KPI yet.
In this case you should go through the following steps:
I. Find the name of the Monitoring profile under which the KPI is collected
- Go to Settings > Monitoring settings (transaction /DVD/MON_CUST).
- Select the KPI in KPI definitions.
- Double-click Assigned profiles.
- Find the Profile name.
In the case that no Monitoring profile name is assigned for the selected KPI, you should assign it manually. For more information on how to define a profile for a KPI, see the chapter (DI-2005) Define a Monitoring Profile for a KPI.
II. Check whether you started the monitoring of the KPI with the Monitoring profile for a specific system
- Return to the main screen and select Collector Jobs.
- Find the Collector job which is assigned to the Monitoring profile and the system of the particular KPI.
- Check the Collector Job status.
If the status is as follows, then the KPI is monitored for the system:- Scheduled – Collector job is scheduled for periodical runs in the future
- Waiting – Collector job is waiting for free work processes
Running - Collector job is currently running
The KPI isn't monitored if the Collector job wasn't created or if it has one of the following statuses:
- Not running - Collector job isn't scheduled for monitoring of the KPI. The Collector job hasn't been started or it was stopped manually. To start the Collector job proceed as described in
Terminated - Collector job was manually terminated and is not scheduled for monitoring of a KPI. This status occurs, when you manually cancel a background job in Background & Batch Jobs through the transaction SM37.
III. Display monitored KPIs of a Collector job
To check the list of collected KPIs for a scheduled Collector job, in the context menu of the selected Collector job select the option Show monitored KPI(s).
A pop-up displays the list of all collected KPIs for this Collector job. If this KPI is available in this list, it means that it is collected.
