Monitoring

The Monitoring tab defines health supervision parameters applied to collectors themselves —
not to the SAP systems they monitor, but to the collector service and its host machine.

Settings are organised into two sections, each accessible as a sub-tab.

• Defines the thresholds and alert conditions used to detect collector connectivity issues.
• These settings control when the Cockpit raises an alarm about a collector being unreachable, slow to respond, or in a degraded state.
• Typical parameters include response time thresholds, disconnection duration limits, and their associated alarm severities.

• Defines the resource usage thresholds that trigger alarms on the collector host.
• These settings allow early detection of resource exhaustion before it impacts monitoring quality.
• Typical parameters include (and their associated alarm severities)
  • Heap memory usage threshold (%)
  • RAM usage threshold (%)
  • Disk usage threshold (%)

• Changes to monitoring settings are propagated to the collector within 30 seconds.
• These thresholds complement the Statistics tab, which displays current resource usage in real time.
• Alarm severities follow the same scale used across the rest of the Cockpit (e.g. Critical, Major, Minor, Warning).
