- SNP
- Marian Vidra
To add your systems to Insights, follow these steps:
1. In the main application toolbar, click 
or press (Shift + F1). A pop-up for adding a new system appears.
2. Select the main system type.
Select system type
3. In the next dialog, enter the RFC Destination in Destination. It is mandatory to fill this field with an existing and valid RFC Connection type "ABAP Connection" to proceed with the following steps.
You can use Maintain RFC to open the SAP standard transaction which maintains the RFC connection.
To monitor the central system where Insights is installed, type "NONE" in the RFC Destination field.
Note that RFC destination should already have set a user name and password in the Logon & Security tab.
4. After specifying the RFC Destination field, click on the Check RFC button. The system checks the connection to the remote system. If the connection is present, the system displays additional information about the remote system in the fields below. If there are connection problems, or if the remote system does not have the Insights collectors package installed, the system displays an error message.
5. In the Maximum time for RFC PING in the seconds field you can set up a maximum time for RFC PING. When the remote system does not respond after the maximum time set here, then a red light icon in the monitoring pool highlights that the system is not accessible.
Recommended value for RFC PING is at least 10 seconds also in the case of a fast connection.

6. Monitoring area is a functional unit used for monitoring. It determines which information is collected from a particular monitored system. See the examples in the above figure.
(Optional) You can change or add Monitoring areas by clicking on options in the Monitoring areas field.
The system automatically detects the system types available for monitoring and displays them in the field Monitoring areas.
7. You can change or add server types by choosing options in the External server types for monitoring field.
8. Check whether all information is correct. Finally, click on the green button Add system or press F8 function key. The new system will be added to the monitoring system pool.

Once the system is added, you can start the default monitoring by clicking on Start default monitoring. This action executes all collector jobs with predefined KPIs and default times which are defined in default profiles.
In some cases the following dialog appears. It informs you that displayed KPIs are excluded, because of the reason mentioned here. You can proceed by clicking on Exclude KPI.
When you a select a particular system on the right side, you can view all the information about this system. In the lower part of the Monitor you can view information about system servers. You can find here the subtotal values of the fields Count of CPU and Physical memory.
