Issues with Alert monitoring

[Former Member]

I am working for a petroleum corp and i have the following issues :

1. I have to configure alert configuration in a central monitoring environment (A) i.e. there is one server which is going to do this for all systems in landscapte, i have made alert configuration earlier but w.r.t. one system . I have gone through lot of documentation too.

2. Now based on this : I have to configure GRMG , RZ21 on the central monitoring machine . also i would like to know about xi alerts. Generally xi alerts are identified through alert categories (after above steps) and rules.

Now if there is a central monitoring system which is configured to receive alerts , where would i define alert categories and where would i define rules? are these independent i.e. define categories and rules on individual machine ? little confusing ?

Please advice

Hi,

In every XI box, create a RFC destination in SM59, called <b>CentralMonitroingServer - XI Alerts</b> --> It is an R3 connection and give the Target Host , System Number and Connectiviyt Details.

Now go to ALRTCATDEF > Settings> RFC Destination of Alert Server and select the RFC destination you have created!

Hope this answers your question

KP,

Coming to the alerts, there are system alerts (RZ20) and the application alerts(ALRTCATDEF).

There are blogs on these 2 things.

search for alerts in the xi forum.
