Currently the monitoring of the connection between the on-premise S/4HANA or SAP Business Suite system, with SAP Cloud ALM, is not fully functional. 

For this reason you might see a gray rating for the connectivity status in the Data Quality Check in the Integration & Exception Monitoring UI. You can disregard this gray rating.
