Replication Cockpit - Monitoring and operations
After successfully configuring your Replication Cockpit and initiating your first data loads, your pipeline will continuously stream data from SAP into the Celonis platform. However, maintaining a healthy real-time pipeline requires proactive oversight.
This section provides the tools you need to ensure your data remains perfectly synchronized and your system performs optimally. Here, you will learn how to:
Monitor active replications: Track the real-time extraction status, data volumes, and health of your table streams.
Configure degradation alerts: Define maximum latency thresholds and receive automated email notifications if your SAP connection experiences delays or interruptions.
Once your Replication Cockpit is actively streaming data, it is critical to monitor the health and performance of your pipeline. The Celonis platform provides a centralized dashboard to track extraction statuses, data volumes, and immediately identify any table-level sync issues.
In the Celonis Platform, navigate to Data Integration and open your target Data Pool.
Click on the Replication Cockpit tab.
Select your active SAP Data Connection from the dropdown menu to view the real-time table list.
The dashboard provides a real-time overview of every table in your pipeline. Pay close attention to the following key metrics:
Replication Status: This indicates the current operational state of the table.
Active: The table is successfully and continuously streaming delta records from SAP.Initializing: A full load is currently running to establish the baseline. Delta streaming will begin automatically once complete.Stopped: The replication has been manually paused or is currently blocked by a Maintenance Window in your Replication Calendar.Error/Failed: An issue occurred during extraction. (Click the three-dot menu next to the table to view the detailed error logs).
Row Count / Extracted Records: The volume of delta records that have been pulled into the staging environment.
Last Extraction Time: The exact timestamp when Celonis last successfully pulled data. If this timestamp is exceptionally old while the status remains
Active, it may indicate a network degradation or that no transactions have occurred in SAP.
Because the Replication Cockpit is designed for near real-time streaming, any significant delay in data delivery (latency) can impact your live Views and Action Flows. To proactively manage pipeline health, you can define Degradation Thresholds and subscribe to automated email alerts.
What is a Degradation Threshold?
A degradation threshold is a defined maximum latency limit. If the Celonis platform does not receive expected delta updates from your SAP source system for a period of time that exceeds this limit (e.g., due to an SAP outage, network interruption, or locked database table), the system flags the connection as "degraded."
To ensure your Data Integration or SAP Basis administrators are notified immediately of a degradation, follow these steps:
Navigate to your Data Pool and open the Replication Cockpit tab.
Select your data connection and click on Settings (or the Alerts configuration menu).
Locate the Degradation Threshold setting.
Enter your maximum allowable latency in minutes (e.g.,
60minutes). Note: Ensure this threshold accounts for any planned downtime you configured in your Replication Calendar to avoid false positive alerts.In the Alert Subscriptions field, enter the email addresses of the users or distribution lists that should be notified if the threshold is breached.
Click Save.
Note
How Alerts Work: Once saved, the system actively monitors the pipeline. If the time since the Last Extraction Time breaches your defined threshold, an automated email alert is immediately dispatched to the subscribers containing connection details and the affected tables, allowing your team to investigate the SAP source or network route.
