PI Monitoring With SAP Solution ManagerRequirements & Motivation

Growing PI landscape complexity and distribution leads to

growing requirements towards a central monitoring approach

Reduce the time

For regular system health checks For hand-over procedures From incident detection to root cause

Relieve productive systems from individual monitoring

activities by a central collection of monitoring data

Reduce the TCO by simplification of the operations processes

e.g. providing one central entry point combining monitors for

PI overall status with drill-down options up to host level

Enable tight integration with:

System Monitoring and Root Cause Analysis Alerting Infrastructure Notification- / Incident Management
