Overview

The SAP CPI Cloud ALM Metrics Input collects CPI metrics from SAP CALM systems. SAP CALM has access to technical metrics that are not available directly from the CPI platform. This input collects these metrics and allows for correlation with the other datasets collected directly from CPI.

Data Collected

SAP CPI CALM Metrics input collects the following metrics:

• Datastore Usage

  • Tracks the utilization of data storage within CPI.

  • Provides insights into storage consumption trends and capacity planning.

• Database Usage

  • Monitors the volume of data stored and queried within the database.

  • Helps identify inefficiencies in database operations and potential performance bottlenecks.

• Database Connection Usage

  • Measures the number of active database connections.

  • Useful for ensuring the system does not exceed connection limits, which could impact performance or cause downtime.

• Database Transaction Duration

  • Tracks the time taken to complete database transactions.

  • Provides visibility into transaction performance and identifies potential delays.

Use Cases

1. Capacity Monitoring

   • Monitor datastore and database usage to ensure sufficient resources are available to handle current and future workloads.

2. Performance Optimization

   • Use metrics like transaction duration and connection usage to optimize database operations and prevent slowdowns or failures.

3. Troubleshooting and Root Cause Analysis

   • Analyze database metrics to pinpoint issues affecting integration performance, such as slow transactions or over-utilized connections.

4. Proactive Alerting

   • Set thresholds for metrics such as connection usage or datastore utilization to receive alerts before critical limits are reached.Status
