This is a continuation of my blog BusinessObjects Monitoring and Housekeeping activities (http://scn.sap.com/community/bi-platform/blog/2012/10/22/businessobjects-monitoring-and-housekeeping-activities ). Just wanted to brief what is exactly needs to be done as part of daily monitoring in high level.

Hi,
I think we can add "deleting of logs under <Install Directory>\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\Logging Folder" on weekly basis will help to maintain server space.
Yes. This has been identified and included here

Hi,
nice post, thank you!
How do you check the whole BO-system?
If the BO-Server fails, the monitoring in CMC is also down.
Have you included it in any central monitoring system?

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for reading. But this blog talks about manual monitoring the BO environment and the related related activities. If the BO server itself fails we need check with the resective team as we might not have the control on this often.
For monitoring you can refer the blogs here.

Hello Manikandan,
I really want to appreciate and thank you for this wonderful blog written by you.
However, I've one query regarding Availability column in your above blog.
Under BOE web application category, you mentioned to check whether URL is working or not.
So where can we configure this setting so that it could check the URL availability?
Do we need to do it under solman template or under CMC monitoring?
