BTP CF Application Instances Test

A SAP application instance in a Cloud Foundry environment defines a group of resources such as memory, CPU usage, disk usage and uptime usually in support of a single application server within a client/server environment. The BTP CF Application Instances test monitors the status of application instances running in the Cloud Foundry environment and reports for crashes, if any. This test also reports the over-utilization of CPU, memory and disk space by the application instances.

Target of the test : A SAP BTP Cloud Foundry Environment

Agent deploying the test : An internal/remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each Space:Application:Instance number in the target SAP BTP Cloud Foundry Environment.

Configurable parameters for the test
Parameter Description

Test Period

How often should the test be executed

Host

Host name of the server for which the test is to be configured.

PortNo

Enter the port to which the specified host listens. By default, this is 443.

Organization Name

In SAP BTP Cloud Foundry environment, an organization is a development account that an individual or multiple collaborators can own and use. All collaborators access an organization with user accounts which have different roles. So you can mention such name of the Organization in the Organization Name text box. To know how to determine the Organization Names, refer to Identifying the API Endpoint URL, Organization Name and Spaces topic in Pre-requisites for Monitoring SAP BTP Cloud Foundry Environment.

Exclude Spaces

A space in SAP BTP Cloud Foundry environment provides users with access to a shared location for application development, deployment, and maintenance. An organization can contain multiple spaces. For collecting metrics from the target environment, you need to decide on which of these spaces to be excluded and those names of the spaces to be provided as comma separated values in the Exclude Spaces text box. By default, it is none.

User ID

Specify the User ID (alias User Name) as already enrolled as an user for creating SAP user account.

Password

Specify the password of the specified User ID.

Confirm Password

Confirm the password by retyping it here in the Confirm Password text box.

DD Frequency

Refers to the frequency with which detailed diagnosis measures are to be generated for this test. The default is 1:1. This indicates that, by default, detailed measures will be generated every time this test runs, and also every time the test detects a problem. You can modify this frequency, if you so desire. Also, if you intend to disable the detailed diagnosis capability for this test, you can do so by specifying none against DD frequency.

Detailed Diagnosis

To make diagnosis more efficient and accurate, the eG Enterprise embeds an optional detailed diagnostic capability. With this capability, the eG agents can be configured to run detailed, more elaborate tests as and when specific problems are detected. To enable the detailed diagnosis capability of this test for a particular server, choose the On option. To disable the capability, click on the Off option.

The option to selectively enable/disable the detailed diagnosis capability will be available only if the following conditions are fulfilled:

  • The eG manager license should allow the detailed diagnosis capability
  • Both the normal and abnormal frequencies configured for the detailed diagnosis measures should not be 0.
Measurements made by the test
Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation

State

Indicates the running status of this instance in this application.

 

The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:

Measure Value

Numeric Value
Running 0
Starting 1
Down 2
Crashed 3

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the running status of this instance in this application. However, in the graph of this measure, states will be represented using the corresponding numeric equivalents only - i.e., 0 to 3.

The detailed diagnosis of this measure provides the message and host details for the application instances that were crashed.

CPU usage

Indicates the percentage of the CPU used by this instance.

Percent

 

Memory usage

Indicates the percentage of memory used by this instance.

Percent

 

Disk usage

Indicates the percentage of disk space used by this instance.

Percent

 

Uptime

Indicates the time that this application instance has been up since its last reboot.

Hr/Mins/Secs

This measure displays the number of years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds since the last reboot.
