Configuration of ScpDbAseStatusTest

If a user complaints of problems while accessing the database, the knowledge of the current state of that database will enable administrators to promptly diagnose the reason for such an occurrence. This test monitors all the databases running on SAP BTP Neo Environment and reports the current state of each database, thereby enabling administrators to easily troubleshoot issues related to database access.

The default parameters associated with this test are as follows:

  • The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

  • In the HOST text box, the host for which the IP address of the target server to be monitored has to be specified.

  • In the PORT text box, specify the port to which the specified host listens. By default, this is 10002

  • In SAP Cloud Platform Cockpit, one user account will have multiple subaccounts. So you can mention any one of the subaccount name in the SUBACCOUNT text box. To know how to determine the Subaccount name, refer to Identifying the API Endpoint URL and Subaccount topic in Pre-requisites for Monitoring SAP BTP Neo Environment section of Monitoring SAP BTP Neo Environment document.

  • Specify comma-separated list of ASE Database names pattern that need to be included for monitoring in the DATABASE NAMES text box. To know how to determine the ASE Database names, refer to Determining the Names of HANA/ASE Databases to be Monitored topic in Pre-requisites for Monitoring SAP BTP Neo Environment section of Monitoring SAP BTP Neo Environment document.

  • For collecting the metrics, specify the Username in the USER text box. The Username here refers to the Client ID created in SAP Cloud Platform Cockpit. To know how to create such a user (Client ID) in SAP Cloud Platform Cockpit, refer to Registering the eG Agent as an API Client topic in Pre-requisites for Monitoring SAP BTP Neo Environment section of Monitoring SAP BTP Neo Environment document.

  • Specify the password in the PASSWORD text box. The Password here refers to the Client Secret created in SAP Cloud Platform Cockpit. To know how to create Password (Client Secret) in SAP Cloud Platform Cockpit, refer to Registering the eG Agent as an API Client topic in Pre-requisites for Monitoring SAP BTP Neo Environment section of Monitoring SAP BTP Neo Environment document.

  • Confirm the password by retyping it here in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box

  • DD FREQUENCY refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD FREQUENCY.

  • To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, eG embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test, by default, for a particular server, choose the On option against DETAILED DIAGNOSIS. To disable the capability, click on the Off option.

    The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

    • The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability.

    • Both the bad and normal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.

  • If multiple components of the same component type are awaiting configuration, then an APPLY TO OTHER COMPONENTS button will appear in this page. Clicking on this button will allow you to apply the configuration to all/selected components of that type.

  • Once the necessary values have been provided, clicking on the UPDATE button will register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of “none” in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
