The menu Monitor has the following action buttons:

These buttons are:

 Refresh monitor (F5) – update information in the tree-list of systems, their servers, and all tabs.

 Add a new system for monitoring (Shift + F1) – displays a popup window for adding a new system through the defined RFC R/3 connection. The process of adding a new system for monitoring is described in the separate section (DI-2005) Add a New System.

 Create a new Collector job (F9) – with this button, you can create, assign a profile and start the Collector job for the monitoring of the system. The process of starting the monitoring is described in a separate section called "Start monitoring". 

 (Ctrl + F5) - opens a new transaction for generating a summary report from the monitoring base on some selections of KPIs, areas (system ID, server names, profiles), snapshot interval. The generator works with a predefined template and allows you to use your own template as well (created in the W3 repository - transaction SMW0). Generated HTML output is possible to compress as a ZIP file and store it in the application server, frontend PC or to send via e-mail.

 (F6) - Run the transaction SM59 to maintain RFC destinations in the system.

 (Shift + F7) – Run the transaction SM27 to display background jobs.

 (Shift + F8) – Run the transaction SO23 to maintain the list of user emails, SAP user names, private distribution list, and shared distribution list for notification of events and messages.

 (Shift + F5) – maintenance of parameters for monitored systems, time intervals, groups of messages used in the messages tab, messages notifications. The maintenance is described in the separate section "System definitions maintenance".

 (Shift + F2) - covers all these cases:

  • KPI Definitions - maintenance of collectors and their setups, parameters, and inputs. Continue with the maintenance of KPI definitions, their association to the collector, to profiles, to events, and to groups. In addition, KPI group maintenance is here, which is used for displaying of KPI groups tree in the main GUI.
  • KPI collectors and detail tables list
  • Profile definition - maintenance of profiles and association of KPIs, events, collector's parameters, collector's setups, and collector's inputs to the profile.
  • Event definition - maintenance of events and setup of their association to the KPI and notification for these events.

The maintenance is described in the separate section "Monitoring settings maintenance".

 here you can adjust the settings for the monitor behavior and graph display on the user's level.
