5.2 Extracting system log information
This section describes the procedure for extracting the system log information of an SAP system and provides an example of the output.
To extract system log information, you must set up your PFM - Agent for Enterprise Applications to store performance data in the Store database in System Log Monitor Command (PD_SLMX) records. Each time performance data is collected in a System Log Monitor Command (PD_SLMX) record, the system information is then extracted automatically. The previous record collection time is recorded in the timestamp file, and only the system log information that occurs after that time is extracted. The default is for the system log information of the SAP system to be output to the following text file:
OS environment |
Host environment |
System log information storage file |
---|---|---|
Windows |
Physical host |
|
Logical host |
|
|
UNIX |
Physical host |
|
Logical host |
|
The processing result is stored in a System Log Monitor Command (PD_SLMX) record.
For details about the System Log Monitor Command (PD_SLMX) record, see 9. Records.
