Availability monitoring CCMSPING or hostagent

Hi Experts

We are using hostagent to monitor our satellite systems using solution manager system as CEN. Recently we are now setting up availability monitoring using ccmsping. For this we have to separately register ccmsping agent.

Both are working for us.

My query is regarding the requirement of ccmsping agent to set up availability monitoring. Is it possible to set availability monitoring using hostagent only without having ccmsping agent?  Or we need to have ccmsping agent in addition to hostagent to have availability monitoring.

We are getting alerts from hostagent when saposcol goes down on any server. Which indirectly points us that somehting with services on that server. But its not specific to that instance availability. So I want to confirm whether it is possible to have instance availability alerts using hostagent only or we need to have ccmsping as well

Thanks

Hi Varun,

Hostagent is for Operating system (monioring OS services, process), Host agent won't monitor SAP system, but OS and will send OS related details to SAP.

CCMSPING is the program that will monitor SAP.

In other words, Hostagent is more of OS and CCMSPING is more of SAP and not vice-versa.

You will require CCMSPING for every system you would like to monitor be it SOLMAN or any satellite system, though you can ignore Solman.

Thanks Prithviraj

That clarifies the doubts

So we are good to go ahead with ccmsping for availability monitoring in addition to hostagent related monitoring set up. It is also clear now that ccmsping is required on each instance for which we want to have instance availability monitoring; irrespective of it being solman or satellite.

Thanks

Dear Varun Kumar Sharma

Host Agent shoul be installed on every phisical host in you landscape. CCMSPING agent may be only on Solution Manager host.

If you have SAP Solution Manager 7.1 you can use End User Experience scenario for availability monitoring. Benefits of it you can monitoring availability from many seats for one system or systems.

With best regards,

Hi Alexander,

We are using solman 7.1.   We donlt have ccmsping agent on solman right now; but on satellite servers and its working fine.

Could you please guide; if we don't have ccmsping on satellite systems; how will we be wble to register availability monitoring for those. Because as of now; we see only those servers available for availability monitoring on which we have ccmsping registered keeping solman as CEN. It creates atCP RFC connection and we create availability monitoring using same RFC


Thanks

Sorry; one typo in above response. We are using solman 7.01 not 7.1

Hi Varun,

You need to have ccmsping agent installed for monitoring.

Refer to below SAP note on possibles issues with ccmsping.

Thanks a lot Deepak. We have ccmsping agent and not facign any isues with availability monitoring which we set up for dev systems. Before moving to QA and prod; just wanted to confirm whether ccmspign agent is required or hostagent can also server its purpose. As hostagent replaced sapccm4x and sapccm4x is no longer required; so I just wanted t be sure the same doe snot apply to ccmsping. And ccmsping is still required for instance availability monitoring.

Could you please advise if its needed on solman as well. Or its required on satellite only (if we not wishing to monitor availability of solman)? As we currently using the same and is working fine without havign ccmsping on solman. We are using hostagent+ccmsping on satellite servers

Thanks
