Hi all,
I am setting up techmon in solman 7.1
For this I need to monitor a remote MS SQL 2012 database, not running SAP.
The dbacockpit connection is working fine and some monitoring is available already, but
I am getting a whole bunch of the messages in SM21 on solman
SM_EFWK BY 2 Database error 50000 at OPC
SM_EFWK BY 0 > SQL Server blocked access to procedure 'sys.xp_cmdshell' of
SM_EFWK BY 0 > component 'xp_cmdshell' because this component is turned of

SM_EFWK BY 1 Database error 50000
In the remote SQL db sys.xp_cmdshell is not enabled, and if I look at the security impact, we dont want to enable it.
But I do want to get rid of this overflooding of my SM21
Which metrics use the xp_cmdshell, and by disabling them, will I still be able to monitor the SQL server?
Thanks
