For more information, see the chapter Configuring an HTTP Destination for SAP NetWeaver Application Server Java. After establishing a successful connection, it monitors the status of all PI channels. The following statuses are possible:

OK
Error
Stopped

Additional details about PI channels with the status Error are reported in the detail table PI Error Messages.

Default KPIs Delivered with This Collector

The following default KPIs are delivered with this collector:

KPI name	Description	Unit	Detail table
PI_CHANNELS_ERROR	Number of erroneous PI channels	Count	Yes
PI_CHANNELS_OK	Number of OK PI channels	Count	No
PI_CHANNELS_STOPPED	Number of stopped PI channels	Count	No

Parameters

The following parameters are used for this collector:

Parameter name	Description	Default value
INCLUDE_ERROR_LOGS_TO_DETAILS	Defines whether error logs of PI channels are also reported in the detail table. Error logs are defined under Process Log in the PI channel data structure. Not every erroneous PI channel has these error logs available. By default, the error logs are also reported in the detail table if they are available. If any error logs are identified under Process Log, multiple records might be reported in the detail table for one erroneous PI channel. In other words, one record is reported for the erroneous PI channel as well as other records based on the processed error logs. If this parameter is disabled with the value <empty>, no error logs are processed. In this scenario, only one record is reported in the detail table for one erroneous PI channel. The number of records in the detail table is the same as the calculated KPI for erroneous PI channels.	X
