# Configure your QAS systems to collect SCMON data

You'll need to configure each of your QAS systems to collect SCMON data. To configure a system to collect SCMON data, follow these steps:

1. Run transaction `SCMON`.
2. Select **Activate**. The default frequency for the collection of `SCMON` data is hourly.

{% hint style="info" %}
The agent verifies SCMON activation as part of the `setup status` health check. If SCMON is not active or has expired, the report will flag it with remediation guidance. See [Validate Your Setup](/knowledgebase/setup-and-configuration/sealights-agents-and-plugins/abap-agent-2.0/command-line-interface/validate-your-setup.md).
{% endhint %}

## SCMON Data Persistence

The agent persists SCMON snapshot data locally in a database on the agent host. This enables accurate per-test-execution coverage deltas by comparing invocation counters across snapshots, rather than relying on a single point-in-time read.

The re-collection frequency can be configured via the `scmonrecollectionfreqmins` field in the `[footprints]` section of `config.toml`. See [Configuration settings](/knowledgebase/setup-and-configuration/sealights-agents-and-plugins/abap-agent-2.0/configuration-settings.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.sealights.io/knowledgebase/setup-and-configuration/sealights-agents-and-plugins/abap-agent-2.0/install-the-abap-agent/configure-your-qas-systems-to-collect-scmon-data.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
