Monitoring Events

Prerequisites

• You have established a connection through the configuration of the communication arrangement in the previous steps. For more information, refer to Communication Arrangements.

• The Enterprise Event Enablement ‒ Event Monitor app is visible.

  If the Enterprise Event Enablement ‒ Event Monitor app is not visible, add the Enterprise Event Enablement business catalog to the SAP_BR_ADMINISTRATOR role using the Maintain Business Roles app. The change in your role becomes effective after you have logged out and logged in again.

Context

Using the Enterprise Event Enablement ‒ Event Monitor app, you can monitor events by status and access the payload.

Procedure

1. Log on to the SAP Fiori launchpad in the ABAP environment system.

2. In the Communication Management app, select the Enterprise Event Enablement ‒ Event Monitor app.

   You will see an overview of all configured channels. The columns filled with numbers correspond to the number of events for a given status.

3. Choose a channel name (created in Creating Communication Arrangements) to access detailed information.

   The Inbound Events and Outbound Events tabs contain all inbound or outbound events by topic and status.

4. Select a Topic.

   All events for the given topic and status are listed.

5. Select an event to access detailed information.

   The detailed view of a consumer inbound event contains:

   Times	Publish Time Arrival Time Consume Time Fail Time
   Event Data	Cloud Event Source Cloud Event ID Quality of Service
   Consumed by	Consumer ID Consumer Version
   Payload	Payload Size (kB)

Events reside in an internal queue of the enterprise event enablement. Once the processing of an event is finalized, it is deleted from the queue after a certain time period. Processing an event is finalized if the status is acknowledged or failed.

Deletion timeline	Event status	Description
Hourly before the current full hour	Acknowledged	The event has been successfully published or consumed according to the chosen quality of service. An hourly background job deletes all acknowledged events from the event monitor.
No deletion	Failed	The enterprise event enablement either failed to publish the event after 5 attempts or the event could not be consumed by the corresponding consumer. Failed events are stored until you either delete or retry them again.
No deletion	Not processed yet	All events that have a different status than acknowledged or failed are not deleted since they are not yet fully processed.

The timeline for deleting is subject to change.
