    1 Overview

    The purpose of the Outside Discovery is to automatically discover, collect and send information related the monitored

    system to Solution Manager.

    As of Solution Manager 7.1 SP06, Outside Discovery is able to collect following information:

    Host: data related to Physical Host and Virtual Host (like Operating System type, version, cpu, memory

    )

    Database: data related to installed database (like database type, version, )

    Microsoft Internet Information Service: data related to installed instance of Microsoft IIS (like .Net

    version, IIS Applications, IIS Sites)

    The Outside Discovery is packaged inside the Diagnostics Agent within the Agelet called DCC (agelet archive:

    sap.com~tc~smd~agent~application~e2edcc.ear).

    The Outside Discovery process relies on the SAPHostAgent Web Service process for collecting all raw technical

    data related to monitored system.

    The process is ready to push as soon as the running Diagnostics Agent gets connected to a Solution Manager

    system. Data are:

    o Collected from the SAPHostAgent Web Service.

    o Filtered and cached on Agelet side.

    o Sent to JAVA Bean Controller (SMD_DataEnrichment_Registrator) through P4 Connection.

    o Stored in LMDB database (AI_DIAGSNOTICS_DATA_ENRICHMENT package).

    SAP Host Agent Trusted Connection SMCONF_LSC_CREDENT (SIMG)

    2.1 SAPHostAgent

    All data discovered by the Outside Discovery process are collected from the SAPHostAgent installed on the physical

    host.

    2.1.1 SAPHostAgent Version

    The SAPHostAgent should have the correct version the minimum required version is:

    Version field Required version

    Kernel Version 720

    Patch Number See SAP Note 1365123

    How to check the version of SAPHostAgent:

    Using Self-Check Application:

    o Here is the output from the above command:

    2.1.2 SAPHostAgent Porttype

    The SAPHostAgent provides a Web Service access to some sub-services also called Porttype. The SAPHostAgent

    should be configured in order expose those Porttype to the Web Service.

    The configuration of those available services is defined in the following file host_profile located under of the binary

    directory of the SAPHostAgent.

    Following porttypes are mandatory for the Outside Discovery process:

    o SAPHostControl

    o SAPOscol

    Example of host_profile file on Windows system:

    2.1.3 SAPHostAgent Trusted Connection

    Some methods within the SAPHostAgent are restricted. In order to allow the Diagnostics Agent to access protected

    Web Service from the SAPHostAgent a trusted connection is necessary between the 2 parties.

    Trusted connection is defined in the following file host_profile.

    The Diagnostics Agent user should be entered in the specific field service/admin_users.

    Example of host_profile file on Windows system:

    2.2 Diagnostics Agent

    In order to start the Outside Discovery process, the Diagnostics Agent should be connected to the Solution Manager

    System:

    o Either during the Diagnostics Agent installation procedure.

    o Either using the following step in the System Preparation Guided Procedure:

    3 User Guide

    As soon as the Diagnostics Agent gets connected to a Solution Manager system, the Outside discovery agelet

    starts running.

    The Outside Discovery Agelet contains 3 different jobs:

    Host Discovery: this job is retrieving data from physical and virtual host on the monitored system.

    Database Discovery: this job is retrieving data for all installed database on the monitored host.

    IIS Discovery: this job is retrieving data for installed Microsoft IIS on monitored host.

    The Host Discovery process is the master process of the Outside Discovery Agelet. Database

    Discovery and IIS Discovery processes are only started if Host Discovery has been able to

    successfully push and create host entity on Solution Manager.

    3.1 Host Discovery

    The Host Discovery (aka PhysicalHostPushJob) is the master process and gets started first.

    The Host Discovery is retrieving following data from the monitored system:

    Physical Host this includes:

    o Operating System Information

    o Virtualized Solution used.

    All Logical hosts defined on the monitored Physical Host.

    3.1.1 Landscape Browser / Technical System Editor View

    All hosts created by the Outside Discovery process are available in the Landscape Browser and the Technical

    System Editor.

    In the following example, Outside Discovery retrieved following information from a Diagnostics Agent installed

    on physical host vml2262:

    Landscape browser:

  • Outside Discovery 10

    User Guide SolMan 7.1 SP05

    SAP AG 2008

    Physical Host vml2262 is using a Virtualization solution.

    o Its Operating System is SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (x86_64)

    o its Full Qualify Domain Name is vml2262.wdf.sap.corp and its IP Address is 10.66.51.11

    Logical Host ldai1sd7 is defined within this physical Host:

    o Its Operating System is SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (x86_64)

    o its Full Qualify Domain Name is ldai1sd7.wdf.sap.corp and its IP Address is 10.66.51.53

    More detailed data are available in the Technical System Editor like Alternative Hostnames, CPU Type.

    Complete list of data is available using the Details button:

    3.1.2 Host Discovery Process Status

    The status of the Host Discovery Process is displayed within the Landscape Browser (column Host Status).

    Here is a view of the Host Discovery Process running on Physical Host vml2262

    Host Discovery run successfully for physical host vml2262

    Version of the SAPHostAgent is Kernel version 720 and Patch Number 80.

    3.1.3 Physical Host Data

    Following data are retrieved for the Physical Host:

    Physical Host fields Description

    Name Short name of the physical host

    Full Host Name Full Host name of the physical host

    IP Address IP Address

    Virtualized Solution Identify if the physical host is running inside a virtualized

    solution.

    3.1.4 Logical Host Data

    The Outside Discovery process is retrieving all Logical Hosts from the installed SAP Product Instance: SAP J2EE

    Engine, Diagnostics Agent, etc

    Logical Host fields Description

    Name Short name of the logical host

    Full Host Name Full Host name of the logical host

    IP Address IP Address

    The Logical Host inherits from the same Operating System data as its Physical Host.

    Logical Host for SAP Instances

    Logical Hosts are retrieved from the SAPHostAgent which reads the SAP Profile. If the Full Qualified Domain

    Name is not reported correctly then the property SAPLOCALHOSTFULL= in the SAP Profile should be

    modified manually in order to match your network configuration.

    Logical Host for non-SAP Instances

    For non-SAP Instances, Logical Hosts are retrieved from the Diagnostics Agent.

    This means installing a Diagnostics Agent on the Logical Host is necessary in order to get the logical host reported

    correctly to LMDB by Outside Discovery. This is usually part of the installation when enabling the monitoring

    capabilities of the 3rd

    Party Component.

    The important point is that the host, FQDN and IP should be the one defined for the Logical Host.
