Measures reported by BobiCMSStTest

The Central Management Server (CMS) provides and maintains security and configuration information, sends service requests to servers, manages auditing, and maintains the CMS system database. In the event of the failure of the CMS therefore, the operations of all components that make up the SAP BOBI platform can no longer be controlled or co-ordinated, resulting in total chaos! To ensure that the CMS is up and running 24 x 7 and provides uninterrupted security, request routing, and auditing services to the SAP BOBI components, administrators must run the BobiCMSStTest test at frequent intervals.

This test continuously monitors the availability and processing ability of the CMS and proactively alerts administrators of the probable slowdown/outage of the CMS. In the process, the test enables administrators to swiftly initiate preventive action, so that the potential performance anomalies are kept at bay.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
healthState Indicates the current health state of the CMS in the monitored node.   The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are discussed in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Danger 0
Caution 1
Healthy 2

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the health state of the server. In the graph of this measure however, the same is represented using the numeric values only.
serverRunningState Indicates the current running state of the CMS.   The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are discussed in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
STOPPED 0
STARTING 1
INITIALIZING 2
RUNNING 3
STOPPING 4
FAILED 5
RUNNING_WITH_ERRORS 6
RUNNING_WITH_WARNINGS 7

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the running state of the server. In the graph of this measure however, the same is represented using the numeric values only.
serverEnabledState Indicates whether/not the CMS is enabled.   The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are discussed in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
Disabled 0
Enabled 1

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate whether/not the server is enabled. In the graph of this measure however, the same is represented using the numeric values only.
busyServerThreads Indicates the number of server threads that are currently servicing requests. Number If this measure reaches the configured maximum thread pool size for the server, new requests to the server would have to wait until a server thread becomes free. If this happens often, it may significantly slowdown request processing by the server. In such a situation, you may want to consider resizing the thread pool.
