Overview

Our SAP HANA database monitoring solution is based on a remote monitoring approach implemented as a Dynatrace ActiveGate extension. The extension queries SAP HANA databases for key performance and health. Captured metrics include infrastructure measures (CPU, Disk, and Network metrics) as well as details related to Backups, Savepoints, Replication, and more. Dynatrace's DAVIS AI then analyzes these metrics to provide anomaly and problem analysis.

Use cases

This is intended for users, who:

  • Would like to monitor the health state and performance of their SAP HANA Databases.

This enables you to:

  • Monitor infrastructure with a comprehensive dashboard
  • Detect traffic anomalies and alert on them
  • Take pre-emptive measures to avoid service degradations

Get started

Prerequisities

  • A SAP HANA database user with the PUBLIC and MONITORING roles
  • SAP HANA DB JDBC Driver downloaded from here
    • Copy ngdbc-2.14.7.jarto this directory on all your ActiveGates in your desired group
      • Windows : C:\ProgramData\dynatrace\remotepluginmodule\agent\conf\userdata\libs
      • Linux : /var/lib/dynatrace/remotepluginmodule/agent/conf/userdata/libs

Then activate the extension in your environment using the in-product Hub, provide the necessary device configuration and you’re all set up.

NOTE

Starting with v2.0.0 the feature set Table Information was added.

This feature set is enabled by default for new monitoring configurations. Due to the nature of the metrics listed below, this can cause high licensing costs to be incurred.

  • sap.hana.db.service.table.locks
  • sap.hana.db.service.table.records
  • sap.hana.db.service.table.size

Details

This extension connects remotely via an ActiveGate to your SAP HANA Database using the credentials provided. It pulls a variety of metrics via the Monitoring Views provided by the database itself.

FAQ

Q: What is the Custom Metric Usage of this extension?

A: The formula for consumption of the extension is:

Per Database & Host:

Logs : 
	Out Of Memory Events -> Each event is ingested as a log message
	Trace File Information -> Each tracefile is ingested as a log message 
	Current Alerts -> Each Current Alert is ingested as a log message 
	Expensive Statements - Each Expensive Statement is ingested as a log message

Metrics : 
	(40 + (2 * <# of Schemas>) +  (14 * <# of Services>) + (3 * <# of Schemas> * <Avg # of Tables per Schema>))

NOTE: The # of Services is usually around 9. This includes processes like the compileserver, indexserver, nameserver, webdispatcher, and xs* processes
