Integration Monitoring for the SAP Integration Suite with Cloud ALM

Introduction

Integration Monitoring for the SAP Integration Suite with Cloud ALM is a feature that allows users to monitor the performance and health of their integration flows in real-time. The SAP Integration Suite is a cloud-based integration platform that helps organizations connect their business processes, data, and systems across different applications and technologies.

It provides users with a centralized view of their integration flows, enabling them to monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) such as message processing time, message throughput, and error rates. It also provides users with alerts and notifications when KPIs fall outside of pre-defined thresholds, allowing them to quickly identify and resolve issues.

Additionally, it offers features such as log analysis, root cause analysis, and trend analysis, which can help users identify and resolve issues before they impact business operations.

      Hi Christoph,

      Thank you for putting together these examples. What we are looking for is a kind of interface overview like it exists in SAP PI/PO. Means a page that shows at one sight every interface and the numbers of processed, processing and especially the erroneous messages of it. The CPI's own monitoring is not very comprehensive and shows only a chronological list of messages. From your screenshots it seems to me that CALM doesn't provide that neither. Could you confirm if that's correct?

      Thank you,

      Philippe

      Hi Philippe,

      Thanks for your comment!

      I don't know what the interface overview looks like in PI/PO. So I can neither confirm nor refute this for you.

      But, recently it is possible to monitor SAP PI/PO Java systems. I can't tell you what that looks like, since I haven't connected such a system yet.

      If you want, we can share our experiences. just contact me.

      greetings
      Christoph

      Hello Christoph,

       

      do you plan to enhance the filter (under business services) for SAP PI/PO same as it s working for SAP CPI/CI? We are using it there for a different criticality of interfaces when alerts sent to ServiceNow. For the moment for PI it s missing...

       

      thanks for answer

      Thank you for showing us the Integration monitoring capabilities of Cloud ALM Christoph Baumann A couple of queries on this from my side:

      • Can you also throw some light on the inner working? Is Could ALM making a request to pull the logs from Cloud Integration? Or is CI pushing the information to Cloud ALM?
      • Can Cloud ALM be used to overcome the 30-day log-retention limits of Cloud Integration? Does it store the logs longer and is that retention period configurable? Or is the monitoring view generated based on API calls to the Cloud Integration backend?

      Thank you in advance!
