There are several out there, but the major ones are:

Tivoli
Lamba Probe (Tomcat monitoring)
SAP Labs: Business Objects Enterprise Probes (I believe this is being integrated into the next release - public knowledge)

I know there are a couple others out there. MikeD’s pretty on top of this stuff - he might have a better idea.

Hope this helps.

FYI:

· Enterprise tools are preferable as they oft provide dashboard / historical capabilities to track trends.
· The XI3 monitoring guide provides an intro/overview for MOM probes (pre-cursor to SCOM) so this holds true for the above.
· You might want to read some dated posts:

· Activating the Windows resource tool (Server Performance Advisor) should be done carefully - the reports get large - the process starts behaving oddly BUT it has some benefit.
· Dan Price has a monitoring overview on the SAP/BO blog portal:

And then there are a stack of FOSS tools available - but first prize will always be something that extends beyond your BO environment to provide a holistic enterprise snapshot across your core servers …
