Monitoring an SAP instance

The monitor operation performs process level check to ensure the proper functioning of an SAP instance.

The ProcMon attribute specifies the processes that must be running successfully for a particular SAP instance type. The monitor operation uses this list of processes to scan the process table, and verify that the processes are running successfully.

Table: Values of ProcMon attribute lists valid values of the ProcMon attribute

The monitor operation takes a snapshot of the running processes table. The operation compares the processes that the ProcMon attribute specifies, to the set of running UNIX processes. If any process is missing, the operation declares the SAP instance as offline, and bypasses further monitor operations.
