SAPOSCOL is an operating
system collector. It is a standalone program that runs in operating system
background.
SAPOSCOL collects data
about operating system resources like
- CPU Utilization
- Usage of Physical Memory
- Usage of Virtual Memory
- Usage of filesytems
- Usage of Physical disks
- Usage of running processes
SAPOSCOL runs exactly
once per host and runs independently of the sap system.
By default, SAPOSCOL
collects data every 10seconds and records it. It also records the hourly
average statistics for the last 24hours in shared memory. This data will be fetched
by background job “SAP_COLLECTOR_FOR_PERFORMANCE” and writes it to the
MONI performance database table.
