Hi!

I am interested in writing an agent for SAP R/3  Monitoring (in Level 7 of OSI, at Application Level, like a gateway between the "property standard" SAP CCMS Monitor and Pandora), but I do not have any Pandora system development server.    

Somebody could give me access for a development system ?

Bye

You really dont need a development server, because you only need to generate a XML.  If you want to create a custom unix agent, it will be easy using examples provided, if you want to make in Windows, be sure we help with coding. If you know some C++ source code is very descriptive and well documented, so will be easy too :-)

Please download documentation (also available in spanish) and see the XML schema, we currently are not using a DTD to validate XML, so will be easy to implemente a first version, and of course, we'll help you to debug possible errors.

In docs, you have some examples of XML and description of types, if you need I can provide you more XML examples or clarify any aspect of them.

Thanks for the offering !, we will be in contact here in the forum or in pandora-develop mailling list (please subscribe in https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pandora-develop ).

Hi Slerena!

I have tho more questions:
- What versions of PHP is supported by Pandora Web Console? The SAPRFC librarys only is supported into PHP 4.1.1 and 5.1.1...
-  Somebody has created a version of Pandora Server (and Pandora Web Console) in a VMWare Image file and avaible for download?  Yes, i know that in the case of build a new Agent is not necesary, but i wil happy with all the briks :-)

Bye,
bitel

About PHP versions:

Pandora Console is working at this moment with 4.3. Of course it can run with 5.1.x or later versions. No problem !

About VMWare image

We'll put a full VMWare Pandora demo when publish a final 1.2 version. We are finishing docs, because we are in Beta3 and final version will be the same as Beta3.

Hi SLerena!

Ok... The design architecture of my no-intrusive agent is like a little script runing in the PHP Web Console server for polling the SAP's data , and next format the data in the Pandora's XML data format.

I calculate that in tree or four days i will have a first prototipe of all of this system :-D

Ciao,
Bitel

Bitel: Agent must be able to run in other place different to Pandora Console, and much more important, it needs to be executed as a script, not from Apache, but from shell. It will be automated on Cron or using a similar mechanism that use Pandora Unix agents, for example:

<setup phase>
<begin loop>
.....<make tests>
.....<generate XML>
.....<send data>
.....<sleep some time>
</loop>

Would be nice if PHP only generate XML and we'll use a standard unix agent for doing the rest. Please ask for help when you need it ;)

Hi floks!

My SAP Agent (or Module for monitoring SAP systems) are finished and uploaded at the Sourceforge site as contribution!

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=155200&package_id=213783

The main concept is that a Pandora Agent with this "add-on" connects via RFC protocol to the core CCMS monitor interface of a SAP system to extract the data, server it to Pandora Server

Wow!

Regards,
Bitel
