Which MMC snap in would you load to access System Monitor?

The SAP Microsoft Management Console (SAP MMC) provides a common framework for system management. It allows various tools that were previously implemented separately to be integrated in a common user-interface enabling centralized system management. The SAP MMC itself does not offer any management functionality, however it provides an environment for incorporating and accessing tools. Tools are integrated in the SAP MMC in the form of snap-ins that allow standardized access to functions.

SAP has developed the SAP Systems Manager snap-in which allows you to monitor, start or stop the SAP system centrally from the SAP MMC. SAP recommends to use the SAP MMC because it simplifies system administration and provides many new features.

For the detailed features, please see

However you first need to setup SSL correctly for the monitored SAP instances.
