Configuration of HanaIOTest

This test auto-discovers the files types on the SAP HANA Database Server and reports the data read and write rate and rate at which reads/writes were performed on the files, and rate of synchronous read and writes. This test also reports the number of failed reads and writes, read and write latency, and number of blocked write requests. In the process, I/O processing bottlenecks can be detected and the files that are affected can be identified.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the HanaIOTest test.

• The TEST PERIOD list box helps the user to decide how often this test needs to be executed.

• In the HOST text box, specify the IP address of the host for which this test is to be configured.

• In the PORT text box, specify port number through which the Apache Hive communicates. The default port is 30015.

• In order to monitor a SAP HANA database server, a special database user account with Monitoring privileges has to be created in every SAP HANA database instance that requires monitoring. The syntax of the script that is used for user creation is discussed in Pre-requisites for Monitoring the SAP HANA Database Server.

  The name of such a USER has to be specified here.

• Enter the password of the specified User in the PASSWORD text box and confirm it by retyping in the CONFIRM PASSWORD text box.

• In the ISPASSIVE flag, if the value chosen for this parameter is Yes, then the SAP HANA database server under consideration is a passive server in a SAP HANA cluster. No alerts will be generated if the server is not running. Measures will be reported as “Not applicable” by the agent if the server is not up.

• Once the above values are provided, click on the UPDATE button to register the changes made.

When changing the configuration for specific servers, a “*” beside the text box corresponding to the parameter signifies that these values have to be manually configured by the user. The parameter values that require to be configured will typically be prefixed with a “$” or contain a series of “*”. A value of “none” in the parameter value indicates that the corresponding parameter value can be changed if required.
