SCOM availability monitoring

Hi,
I am using SCOM 2012 and I want to start monitoring just a group of servers and monitor their
availability in two ways. One: If I can really reach the server, so simple PING will do the job, but I cant find anything so simple like just ping there....? And the second one which I want to monitor is Processor usage,
Memory usage, HDD free space again just for goup of servers. I know that these data are already there, but I need to find the way how to make email notification and alerts just for group of them. Can somebody pls help me?

Hi,
The Health Service Heartbeat Failure alert is generated and the management server attempts to contact the computer by using ping.

JEE MP: Authoring JEE Application Availability Monitor

Hi experts,
We've imported the JEE WebSphere MP's, completed discovery, enabled deep monitoring, and now have some issues authoring custom "JEE Application Availability Monitoring".
In the wizard on the "MBean to Monitor" screen we use the MBean name:

I'm using the latest JEE MPs and SCOM 2012 R2, however I don't show the stats as a property on this MBean.

Availability monitoring using ccmsping - refresh rate

So I've configured my solman 3.2 to monitor the availability of other systems via the use of ccmsping. I can see the other systems well enough, but the problem is the long time it takes for my solman system to become aware that a monitored system is no longer active.
It can easily take 20 minutes for it to report that a system is unavailable. When I say "report", I mean that the status is updated in the 'Availability and Performance Overview' monitor in RZ20.
Even then, the only evidence visible is that the 'Availability' alert changes colour due to the % availability over the last 15 minutes. The other alerts for Groups and Instances simply turn white because no information is coming from the child system.
SAP help and the document "Availability Monitoring with CCMSPING.pdf" advice that monitoring frequency can be changed by changing the parameter values for the CCMS_AVAIL_LOGON_CHECK method. I have changed these values, which have had no apparent impact on the response times for noticing that a system has become unavailable.
Any suggestions?

Hai Dirk,
I have checked all the ways possible, we have sapms<SID> in the IP service name filed.
Tried with 36<Instance number>, aslo tried with IP address in the host name filed but no luck.
We have 4 PRD systems out of which 2 works and the other 2 is not working. The working systems are 640 systems and the other two systems which is not working are 620 systems.
I have tried updating CCMSPING to the latest patch level as well.
The services file in the CEN system is maintained with correct values.
We have SAPROUTER running in our CEN system, and the entries can be found in my previous post.
We are not using the router to connect because the systems which are working do not have any router string attached to them.
Please let me know if you find any reason for the problem.
Thanks in advance.

Regarding Availability Monitoring.

Hi All,
We are using SOLMAN 7 for availability monitoring of our system landscape.
We have installed CCMSPING agents in all the servers and all are running fine.
For our BI system we are not getting the availability data for the different instances. In RZ21 availability monitoring we are able to see only the Central instance of the our BI system and not any of the other app. instance.
We checked the CCMSPING agent of all application servers in BI system and they are up and running and all RFC related to CCMSPING in SOLMAN are working fine but still no data.
We also checked the /etc/host file of SOLMAN and message server for BI is mentioned there.
How can we involve the application instances in SOLMAN for BI please help on this.

Availability Monitoring from Solman

Dear community,
we are using availability monitoring with CCMSPing from our Solution Manager as central monitoring system. We tried to configure a central autoreaction method that send automatically emails if a syste is down. That works for all other configured MTE-classes but not for the availability classes.
What could be the issue with that?

Hello Christoph,
> availability monitoring with CCMSPing from our Solution Manager as central monitoring system.
> We tried to configure a central autoreaction method
the information regarding the availability is stored locally in your central monitoring system therefore a central autoreaction will not work here (because there is no agent that will trigger this).
As a consequence you have to configure an additional autoreaction that is started in dialog. Please note that the local autoreaction will be started in client 000 so you need also to configure SAPconnect in this client.

Availability monitoring using CCMSPING..

Hai,
Iam facing problem in Availability monitoring using CCMSPING. CCMSPING is installed on CEN system which is a SOLUTION MANAGER system with SAP_BASIS - Release 702 and Level - 0002. (SAP EHP 1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0)
We have 4 Production systems in the landscape out of which 2 systems are not reporting the data in RZ20 in CEN under 'Availability Monitoring' MTE. I got the below error when I tried to Test ping the connection for the faulty servers in RZ21 in CEN.
Error:

Also I got the below pasted errors from dev_ccmsping from the CCMSPING working directory.

NWA Availability monitoring problem

With NW04s at SP8 I have an ABAP+J2EE system that is my Central Admin/Monitoring system. I have setup CCMSPING in central system and also in RZ21 of the ABAP system. I verified the systems are showing in RZ20 with green/100% indications.
When I go to set them up in NWA, I see them listed with yellow warnings next to them in the availability monitoring screen. When I scroll down and click 'enable availability monitoring', I get a message at the top "SYSTEM_ALREADY_MONITORED".
Why might it be telling me that, even though the metrics are not showing up in the NWA?

Hi Dave,
if you don't see the availability of monitored instances in the central reports, then you'll probably don't see it in the transaction RZ20 as well. Is this correct?
If so, did you check the following documentation?
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/38/9e100dd7980fffe10000009b3810a5/frameset.htm

Published list of available "Monitored Attributes".

Hi all,
I am trying to create some user defined monitoring alerts. Is there a list of available "Monitored Attributes", such as CpuUsage.usagePercentage, ProcessUsage.*, etc
I have looked through the docs and can't see a list of available attributes.
In the document "Advanced User Guide - E18416" they are mentioned on page 96 and page 99 point 3b mentions "javadoc public API". No idea what that means.
Can anyone shed some light?
Cheers
Neil

Hi all,
Not to self: Install the SUNWxvmoc-sdk package and read the javadocs ;-)

Reg CCMS Availability Monitoring

Hi ,
I am in the process of configuring CCMs availability monitoring for my Systems.
I have the following scenario
1. System A is the CEN System and the CCMSPING Server is running in this System.
2. System A should monitor System B and send a mail if the Server B gets shut down
I have done the following until now
1. CCMS Agents are running and i am getting CCMS Alerts of System B from System A
2. In Rz21--> CCMS PING Monitoring. I have added the systems
When i select the system B in Configuration Overview and Performance Availability and select Ping Test it is failing
Please let me know the following information
1. Does CCMSPING installed in System B also?
2. Do i need to create a SM59 connection in System B(as i have in system A) with name CCMS_SYSTEM_PING_DEST. If so what are the parameters for that

Hai,
Check your inputs for the System, such as Message server port, Message server host, CS Message server host/port.
or try re installing the CCMSPING utility.
Check the below link for further details.
