Data Description
The MSS_DB02_PERF event is used in SAP to view overall database performance for a Microsoft SQL database.
Potential Use Cases
This event could be used in the following scenarios:
Correlate database performance statistics with events in the application layer.
Alert on potential databsae problems.
Trend database performance statistics over time.
Splunk Event
The event will look like this in Splunk:
SAP Navigation
Log into the managed system and execute the dbacockpit transaction code. Then go to the Performance menu on the left side of the screen and expand the options, and double-click the Overview section.
