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.

Collector status

  • 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.

Memory and disk

  • 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 (%)

Notes

  • 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).
