SXMB_MONI (Draft)

Data Description

The SXMB_MONI event is used in SAP to monitor the processing for XML messages, track message status, and errors.

Potential Use Cases

This event could be used in the following scenarios:

• To monitor XML messages for integrations monitoring use cases.

• Identify actionable business errors associated with an integration using the message payload, and alert respective business process teams.

• Review message processing response times when identifying integration bottlenecks.

• Trend message volume over time for a specific interface.

Metric Filters

Important Note: SXMB_MONI events will not be extracted without configuring the interface using Metric Filters.

Go to the /n/bnwvs/main transaction code in the managed system. Then go to Administrator → Metric filters → More → SXMB filter.

Then select the “Insert Row” button and add the desired configuration parameters based on the parameters below, and select the Save button.

• Status group - This field is optional, but can be used if you would like to select a specific message status group for extraction.

• Status - This field is optional, but can be used if you would like to select a specific message status for extraction.

• Direction - This field is optional, but can be used if you would like to select a specific message direction for extraction.

• Party - This field is mandatory and is used to specify the sender/receiver party for the integration scenario.

• Component - This field is mandatory and is used to specify the sender/receiver component for the integration scenario.

• Name - This field is mandatory and is used to specify the integration name.

• Namespace - This field is mandatory and is used to specify the namespace for the integration schema you would like to extract the messages for.

• Payload - This field is mandatory and is used to toggle whether the message payload should be extracted for the integration schema. Note that enabling this feature can significantly increase the data volume sent to Splunk.

• Active - This field is mandatory and is used to toggle whether the messages for the integration schema are extracted. Checking the check box will enable data extraction, and unchecking the check box will disable the data extraction.

The data will now be extracted according to the parameters entered in the Metric Filters configuration.
