The following minimum data will be requested for each task:

  • SAP Hostname:IP or FQDN of the SAP environment to monitor.
  • SAP Client: SAP client/commander to monitor.
  • SAP System Number: Number of the SAP system to monitor.
  • SAP Credentials: SAP credentials to connect to the environment to monitor. These credentials will be created in the Pandora FMS console credentials store.
  • SAP SNC Mode: Enables connection via SNC.
  • SAP SNC Partner name: A valid SAP server SNC name, which is equal to Distinguished Name(DN) of SAP server PSE.
  • SAP SNC QOP: It is a parameter that defines the level of security applied in communication between SAP systems using Secure Network Communications (SNC).
  • Client SNC name: A valid client SNC name, which is equal to Distinguished Name(DN) of client PSE.

You can also adjust the task configuration to customize the desired monitoring:

  • Max threads: to optimize execution time, multiple threads may be configured to monitor the task modules. Keep in mind that configuring multiple threads may increase the task CPU usage.
  • Target agent: Name of the target agent in which the indicated modules will be created. If no agent name is specified, the SAP Hostname will be used instead.
  • SAP modules: From a list of predefined modules, the elements to be monitored in the SAP environment can be selected.
  • Custom modules definitions: Custom modules definition block. Each line of the block will be a module to monitor, indicating for each case name, data type and SAP plugin parameters to obtain the data. Each line must have the format:

<module_name>;<module_type>;<check_definition>

Example:

SAP info;generic_data_string;-m 120

  • SAP Client: Monitored SAP client/commander.
  • SAP System: Number of monitored SAP system.
  • Total modules: Total modules generated for the target SAP environment.
