Overview

• Pro.Monitor cockpit is a monitoring and integration solution primarily focused on SAP technologies and the associated databases and environments
• Its purpose is to monitor the health and performance of these applications to ensure the highest quality of service and facilitate operations and maintenance.
• We named it Cockpit because it will provide visibility and control over large and complex environments, via various applications such as Alarm console, Overview cockpit or Dashboards
• Pro.Monitor cockpit works with Collectors which are dedicated to specific technologies, such as SAP.

• Applications: Pro.Monitor cockpit can be seen as an application platform. Each application will help to manage device landscapes
  • Cockpit overview: Visualize your entire landscape in a single page
  • Alarm console: Manage all the problems detected on the devices
  • Inventory: Manage all you device properties and connectivity
  • Device dashboard: In depth visibility of a particular dashboard.
  • More applications will appear as we go.
• Monitoring:
  • A whole section is dedicated to the definition and control of the monitored environments
  • This is where you will define the structure of the environment and the connection parameters
  • You will also define and control how those environments will be monitored
  • Predefined monitoring profiles are available for each type of system
• Administration
  • Manage teams and users: Users can be grouped by teams to facilitate the control over what a user can see and do
  • Manage authorization profiles allowings to finely control which applications a user can use and which devices he can control.
  • Business rules: Create rules to define actions based on some incoming events
  • Plugins: Easily connect Pro.Monitor cockpit with external third parties
  • Monitoring library: A preconfigured set of monitors based on monitoring best practices and designed to be efficient and simple to use.
  • Collectors: Agents that remotely connect to the systems, collect, analyze data and generate monitoring information such as alarms, metrics and reports.

Pro.Monitor cockpit is a generic platform that can cope with any kind of devices.
The provided SAP collector can monitor the following applications:

• SAP NetWeaver ABAP/Java
• SAP S/4HANA
• SAP HANA
• SAP Business Objects
• SAP ASE database (Sybase ASE)
• Oracle database
• MSSQL database

• The Pro.Monitor cockpit application relies on the following components:
  • A central instance hosting most key components such as UI, databases and agents control.
  • Collectors responsible for collecting information on the target systems.

Central Instance:

• The central instance provides the main application services:
  • A REST API to consume Agent's data and provide a WEB user interface.
  • Databases to store configuration, metrics, reports, metadata and all generated information.
  • A central control bus to manage remote agents.
• The central instance can be hosted on premise or via SAAS.

Collectors:

• Collectors are agents that will locally collect and analyse information from the devices
• Then consolidated information is sent back to the central instance
• Collectors are a very efficient way of monitoring systems within isolated environments without exposing them.
