Monitoring Redwood Server Availability in CEN

You can use the Generic Request and Message Generator (GRMG) to monitor the availability of technical components and entire business processes. GRMG is suitable both for technical monitoring and for application monitoring. The following Redwood Server components can be monitored with GRMG:

• Dispatcher - the process that distributes the load of processes across the central Redwood Server
• Queues - load-distribution component of Redwood Server
• Process servers - component that executes processes
• Services of process servers - component of a process server that run processes, each process server has a service per definition type
• SAP system process servers - component that sends jobs to SAP systems for processing

The following syntax is used in transaction GRMG to monitor the components, the host and port parameters refer to the host name and connection port of the central Redwood Server.

Examples

• http://<host>:<port>/redwood/monitoring Dispatcher
• http://<host>:<port>/redwood/monitoring?object=processserver&name=CRM_ProcessServer Process server CRM_ProcessServer
• http://<host>:<port>/redwood/monitoring?object=queue&name=CRM_Queue Queue CRM_Queue
• http://<host>:<port>/redwood/monitoring?parent=CRM_ProcessServer&object=psservice&name=SAPR3Service SAPR3 service of the process server CRM_ProcessServer
• http://server:port/redwood/monitoring?object=sapsystem&name=T5U
