However frankly speaking, the quality of the monitoring universe is very low and it looks as it was developed by a college student for a weekend project that had minimal-to-nothing knowledge about the topic
Yes, I agree. The whole monitoring system feels like it was a side project for someone, and it eventually made it into the production code base (kind of like Application Foundation, now that I think about it). The modelling is non-standard, and by default it uses a Derby database. I love Derby, but it’s not being used correctly in this way. I moved it into Oracle, then created a more usable datamart for reporting.
I have an issue with my monitoring as it wont show historic data, SAP pointed me at the monitoring universe, great, I have this setup and can see data but does anyone have any reports that show the history of a metric, watch list or probe, if so can you tell me how to build such a report as I’m not making much sense of the data.
for example I’d like to see
Watch Name, Metric, Metric Value, Date
APS.WEBI, Free Memory, 100, DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS
APS.WEBI, Free Memory, 99, DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS
APS.WEBI, Free Memory, 98, DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM:SS
