N1 AA Analyzer

Based on the infrastructure of the N1 AA Manager, there are additional components needed for the N1 AA Analyzer.

• N1 AA Analyzer Web Application

  From the technical point of view, this is not an additional component. It is included in the N1 AA Manager which is already registered with the Sun Java Web Console. The N1 AA Analyzer can be shown or hidden during N1 AA Manager customization. For more information, see the Sun N1 Advanced Architecture for SAP Solutions 5.2.1 User’s Guide.

• Performance Collector

  The Performance Collector (perfcol) is a daemon running on every N1 AA client. It measures the resource consumption, CPU, and memory of every running Solaris project. The data is logged in the /var/opt/SUNWn1aa/n1data file.

• N1 AA Analyzer Client/Server Communication (aasap, rsh, or ssh)

  This is used by the N1 AA Analyzer to read the perfcol data in /var/opt/SUNWn1aa/n1dataon every server and import the data to the PostgreSQL database. You can choose to have this communication based on aasap, rsh or ssh. While rsh and ssh are standards in the Solaris OS, aasap comes with the N1 AA software and has to be installed separately.
