Your system monitoring strategy should include:
· Detection of existing system errors and prevention of future errors, since these can cause an immediate stop of production
· Performance monitoring
· Detection of security violations
To achieve comprehensive monitoring, you should use both inside-out and outside-in approaches.
Base your central system monitoring strategy on the SAP Computer Center Management System (CCMS) in conjunction with the SAP Solution Manager.
