Proactive SAP monitoring – detect errors early before they become a problem

Detecting, isolating and resolving errors in a targeted manner – monitoring with a system

With the increasing networking of companies, systems and applications, the demands on IT are increasing. Even with careful management of the systems, small failures can have major consequences: reputational damage, loss of revenue, dissatisfied customers – and all this often due to a single unplanned error. Such an incident can not only cause high costs in the short term, but also cause lasting damage to customer trust.

So how do you succeed in reacting in a timely manner in a complex IT landscape? The answer: Detect mistakes as early as possible – and ideally avoid them altogether.

SAP Standard Monitoring: What Does It Involve?

Professional monitoring includes regularly recurring tasks that should be part of any stable system support. The aim is to identify potential problems during ongoing operations at an early stage and to remedy them in a targeted manner. Typical tasks in SAP standard monitoring are:

Availability: Is the SAP system online and accessible?
RFC destinations (TA: SM59): Do the connections to subsystems such as CRM, Elster or the Business Connector work?
ABAP dump analysis (TA: ST22): Are there any programs with runtime errors?
Job Monitoring (TA: SM37): What background jobs failed?
Backup Monitoring (TA: DB12): Were the last backups successful?
Database Check (TA: DB50): Is there enough storage space for data and logs?

In many companies, valuable time passes before faulty system states are detected and corrected. Error detection is often delayed in the IT department and is only then passed on to the departments – time that is paid dearly during ongoing operations.

FAQ – Monitoring with SAP

Why is reliable SAP monitoring crucial for my company?

An SAP system failure can have far-reaching consequences – from lost productivity to lost sales and reputational damage. In addition to these measurable costs, there are often damage that is difficult to quantify, such as declining customer trust or frustration among employees. Reliable monitoring detects critical system states at an early stage and helps to quickly rectify errors – or, in the best case, to avoid them altogether. In this way, you secure your business processes and avoid high follow-up costs.

What are the typical effects of IT downtime in SAP systems?

If SAP systems or interfaces are not available, processes cannot run as planned. The result: employees are blocked, deadlines are missed, contracts are violated. Costs are incurred due to lost productivity, liability claims and customer churn. Especially in business-critical processes, such disruptions can have a significant impact on the company’s success.

Is it really worth investing in SAP monitoring?

Definitely – even for smaller companies. A simple formula shows how the costs of an outage are calculated:
Cost of disruption = restoration + loss of productivity + liability + loss of revenue + non-material damage
In comparison, the investment in a monitoring tool is small – but with a big impact. Those who detect errors early or prevent them altogether save money, protect the company and increase customer satisfaction.

Why are CCMS, Solution Manager or open source tools like Nagios often not enough?

SAP systems can be monitored with various tools – e.g. CCMS, SAP Solution Manager or open source solutions such as Nagios. But in practice, it turns out that these tools are often very complex to configure and use.
SAP discontinued the CCMS years ago, and the monitoring functions in Solution Manager are more suitable for large IT service providers. Those who also use open source software significantly increase the implementation and maintenance effort. For many companies, this is simply too time-consuming – especially when lean, easy-to-use solutions such as our MailCenter Monitoring are available.
