What it does :
The SAP_basis Monitoring probe monitors the health and performance of SAP system resources , processes , failures , error logging etc.
SAP Resources Being Monitored :
ABAP (with HANA or other DB)
HANA
NETWEAVER (dual stack ABAP+JAVA , ABAP)
BOBJ
How does it monitor a SAP system :
Sap probe utilizes CCMS (Computing Centre Management System) monitoring tree which is created as a result of SAP system's inherent monitoring capability execution. CCMS monitoring tree is traversed to collect the intended monitoring data for a configured ABAP resource.
SAP JCO (Java Connector ~ sapjco3.dll,sapjco3.jar) library is required in order to connect to a SAP resource.
SAP NetWeaver system of version 1.31 and earlier are monitored using the JMX libraries , 1.40 and later versions are monitored using Control Java Web services (can be queried using the URL - http://<HOSTNAME>:50013/?wsdl).
SAP Hana is monitored using JDBC application programming interface(~ngdbc.jar).
SAP BOBJ is monitored using the java libraries (~dsws-session.jar, dsws-biplatform.jar, dsws-common.jar).
All these libraries are supposed to be installed/provided by the customers as these are available only to the licensed enterprise users.
