SCC Trace Test

The SAP Cloud Connector (SCC) trace refers to the log or trace files generated by the SAP Cloud Connector, a component used to establish a secure connection between on-premises systems and cloud-based applications and services in the SAP ecosystem. The SAP Cloud Connector is used to facilitate communication between on-premises systems and the SAP Cloud Platform.

The trace files generated by the SAP Cloud Connector contain information about the activities and events related to its operation. These traces are essential for monitoring and troubleshooting purposes. They can provide valuable insights into the connectivity and data exchange between on-premises systems and the SAP Cloud Platform.

This test monitors the SCC trace and reports the metrics like total messages, message rate, type of messages etc. The trace metrics are vital to monitoring of SCC and provide clear information to administrators to act on issues and errors.

Target of the test : SAP Cloud Connector

Agent deploying the test : An internal/external agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each trace file in sub account.

Configurable parameters for the test

Parameter

Description

Test period

How often should the test be executed.

Host

Specify the host for which the test is to be configured.

Port

Specify the port at which the specified host listens to. Default port is 8443.

File Name

Trace information is stored in Trace log file. Specify the path for the trace log file.

DD Frequency

The 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 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 this parameter.

Detailed Diagnoses

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

Total Messages

Indicates the total number of messages in the log file.

Number

Total number of messages from the log file. If no lines were added in the log file from the last measure time, then it will be 0.

For Summary descriptor the measure value will sum of total message of all descriptors.

Message rate

Indicates the rate at which messages are written in the log file.

Messages/min

Total messages per minute will be show as a measure value for the log file. If no new lines were added from the last measure, then this measure will be 0.

For Summary descriptor the measure value will be sum of message rate of all descriptors.

Information messages

Indicates the number of information messages in the log file.

Number

Total number of information logs if the severity from the log line is INFO.

For Summary descriptor, the measure value will be sum of information messages of all descriptors.

Warning messages

Indicates the number of warning messages in the log file.

Number

Total number of warning messages if the severity from the log line is WARN. For Summary descriptor, the measure value will be sum of all the warning messages.

Detailed Diagnosis:

Detailed diagnosis will provide the log time, thread, log text for the warning logs

Error messages

Indicates the number of Error messages in the log file.

Number

Total number of error messages if the severity from the log line is ERROR. For Summary descriptor, measure value will be sum of error messages of all descriptors.

Detailed Diagnosis:

Detailed diagnosis will provide the log time, thread, log text for the error logs.

Fatal messages

Indicates the number of Fatal messages in the log file.

Number

Total number of fatal messages if the severity from the log line is FATAL.

For Summary descriptor, measure value will be sum of fatal messages of all the descriptors.

Detailed Diagnosis:

DD will provide the log time, thread, log text.

Severe messages

Indicates the number of Severe messages in the log file.

Number

Total number of fatal messages if the severity from the log line is SEVERE.

For Summary descriptor, measure value will be sum of severe messages of all the descriptors.

Detailed Diagnosis:

DD will provide the log time, thread, log text.
