HANA Monitor

  • By an extension of the channel "logmodecheck" the usage type of the HANA database is also checked and you have now 4 different result values:
      1. OK = backup and log mode normal is activated 
      2. Warning = log mode overwrite of non production systems is activated 
      3. Error = log mode overwrite of production systems is set 
      4. Error = no backup and log mode normal is defined

Oracle Monitor
  • You don't get "insufficient privileges" errors anymore when a tablespace is empty (e.g. for PSAPUNDO).

SAP Certificate Monitor
  • The SAPSNCSKERB.pse certificate is not a "normal" PSE, since it contains keytab entries and you can not read the expiration date respectively there is no expiration date. Thus it will be ignored now.

  • The correct result is now displayed in case the certificate can't be read or the certificate is not yet valid. Before an "expiration in less than 7 days" was displayed as result.

  • The parameter "Jobname" is no longer ignored when monitoring suspended jobs.

HANA Monitor
  • The calculation of the peak memory of the last 12 months is sometimes wrong. That depends on the HANA revision which is used. Now the total consumption of the peak HANA memory is displayed correctly.

SAP Update Monitor
  • The successfully processed V2 updates are not interpreted as errors anymore.

SSH Memory Info
  • The value of "Swap Used Percent" is now calculated correctly in case "Swap Total" is 0.

Scansor 2020.05 Release Notes

Generated on May 27, 2020 
Technical version: 2.0.0


We are proud to present you a brand new release of Scansor - formerly known as SAP monitoring for PRTG - the one and only tool to monitor SAP systems, the tool our customers love.


With this release we introduce new license keys. You will need a new license key for using it. Existing customers will be informed and contacted automatically. Please do not hesitate to contact our support or sales if you have any questions to your existing license.
This release includes also new sensors that will change your way of monitoring.


New Sensors
SAP PI/PO Sensor

This brand new sensor contains parts of the PI message monitor and allows you to monitor the status of the messages. You get an overview of the amount of messages with the following status:

  • error messages
  • canceled (with error) messages

By default the monitor covers the messages from the last hour but that can be easily adjusted.



SAP Certificate Monitor
This sensor represents the state of certificates in SAP. It returns the following channels for each PSE:
  • OK: Certificate valid
  • Warning: Certificate expires in 30 days
  • Error: Certificate expires in 7 days
  • Error: Certificate not yet valid
  • Error: Could not parse PSE validity

It returns an error message as result text if there is an exception while collecting PSE or OS executes.


SSH File Monitor
There is a standard sensor which can do this on Windows systems. But this new sensor allows you to monitor the modification date of one or more files also on Linux systems by using SSH. The last modification time will be shown in hours.


Bugfixes

SAP Job Monitor ignores warning limits
  • Correction of limit parameters in "Aborted" and "Suspended" channel (change warning limit min to warning limit max)
  • Add options to check also for "ENDDATE" and "ENDTIME" (not only "STRTDATE" and "STRTTIME") for all channels except "Suspended"
  • Parameter "Days" removed; using only parameter "Minutes"

SAP STMS Monitor checks wrong time value

Fixed a bug where the sensor returned too many results due to wrong date and time handling.
