It emphasizes that setting up Solution Manager monitoring is a multi-step project involving preparing the infrastructure, configuring managed systems, and defining the monitoring scope and reporting.

11. Summary
• Solution Manager 7.1 Technical Monitoring is a project,
not a simple task, which involves:
• Planning, budget, time, resources (Solman as well as the
managed infrastructure)
• Installation of Solution Manager, upgrade, patches
• System Preparation including BW store, SLD, LMDB,
Introscope, Life Cycle Managers
• Basic Configuration: Solution Manager Diagnostics Agents,
Host agents and connectivity
• Managed Systems Configuration: discover agents, assign
products
• Technical Monitoring: scope of systems and reporting
• The result is more to manage: systems, software,
components, connectivity, knowledge. In return, you
get automated aggregation of alerts, metrics and chart
