Figure 154: Including Remote Systems
In the context of monitoring, it is possible to read from remote monitoring
segments. An RFC connection is required to do this. You can specify an
additional RFC connection to start analysis methods. You can also use a
non-dialog users of the type System for data collection in the remote system.
To include an SAP system in a central monitoring architecture, you must
define an RFC connection over which the monitoring data for the SAP
system can be transferred to the central monitoring system. The data
collection is performed independently by the CCMS Alert Monitoring
Infrastructure on the remote system.
From a security point of view, it is recommended that you also define

methods can be started in the remote system from the central monitoring
system. If a problem occurs, you can therefore branch directly from the
central monitor to the remote system to analyze the situation in more detail.
