SAP ABAP Real-Time Data Acquisition Monitoring

SAP ABAP Real-Time Data Acquisition Monitoring

This monitor supervises ABAP Real-Time Data Acquisition (RDA) errors and failed RDA requests,
with threshold-based alarms and optional time-series metrics.

What Can Be Monitored

You can detect and alert on:

RDA processing errors
Failed RDA requests
Error bursts over configurable time windows

This supports proactive detection of blocked or degraded RDA data loading flows.

Configuration Hints

One surveillance row defines one threshold rule and one evaluation window.
`Period (min) = 0` means “since last monitor execution”.
`Max errors = 0` disables alarm checks for that row.
Metric sends only the “RDA errors” metric (not request-error count).
Prefix is applied to alarm text and used as alarm tag.
Category is available in configuration but not used as a filter by current evaluation logic.
Report is used only when monitor runs in report mode.

Configuration

Monitoring Parameters

This monitor has no global monitoring parameter. All settings are defined in the surveillance table.

Surveillance Table

Field	Required	Default	Description
Active	Yes	'true'	Enables/disables this surveillance row.
Category	Yes	`*`	Logical category label for the row.
Max errors	Yes	`INFO`	Threshold expression for alarms. Alarm when computed count is greater than or equal to threshold.
Severity	Yes	`MAJOR`	Alarm severity used when threshold is breached.
Period (min)	Yes	`0`	Evaluation window in minutes. `0` means since last monitor execution.
Auto clear	Yes	`true`	Alarms generated by this row are clearable when condition recovers.
Prefix	No	(empty)	Optional alarm prefix and alarm tag value.
Alarm	No	`true`	Enables/disables alarm generation for this row.
Metric	No	`false`	Enables/disables metric emission for RDA error count.
Report	No	`false`	Enables report flagging when monitor runs in report mode.

Alarm Conditions

For each active surveillance row:

RDA errors alarm: triggered when `sum(COUNT_FAILS in window) >= Max errors`
RDA request errors alarm: triggered when `count(requests in error in window) >= Max errors`

Additional behavior:

If `Max errors = 0`, alarm checks are skipped for that row.
If Alarm is disabled, no alarms are generated.
Alarm message time window uses `Period (min)` or computed “since last check” duration when period is `0`.

Generated Metrics

If Metric is enabled, the monitor emits:

Metric	Unit	Description
RDA errors count	Errors	Sum of `COUNT_FAILS` from `RSCRT_RDA_ERROR` over the evaluated window.

Generated Alarms

Alarm messages include evaluated count and threshold, for example:

`X RDA errors in last P min (>=Y)`
`X RDA request(s) in error in last P min (>=Y)`

If Prefix is set, it is applied to alarm messages.

Example

Active	Category	Max errors	Severity	Period (min)	Auto clear	Prefix	Alarm	Metric	Report
true	`*`	`1`	4	15	true	`RDA`	true	true	false
true	`FIN_*`	`G2W:5`	3	0	true	`BW,RDA`	true	false	false
