5 reasons why to choose PRTG as your SAP monitoring tool

Seamless integration

As SAP systems tend to be complex, SAP monitoring can be really complicated. But not with PRTG. Because they're preconfigured, Scansor SAP sensors work right out of the box for quicker workflows.

Just paste the respective files into the "Custom Sensors" folder in your PRTG installation directory, and add them to your monitoring setup.

Proactive issue detection

Identify, troubleshoot, and fix issues fast. Pick your preferred warning and error thresholds, and you'll get automatically alerted if there's a risk your SAP services might go under.

This way, you can sort things out before system failures disrupt critical business processes (and your phone starts ringing off the hook) – and steadily increase the stability of your infrastructure.

Agentless SAP monitoring

PRTG is agentless and directly reads values from SAP via RFC and other standardized interfaces, so there's no need to install any software on the devices you want to monitor.

You’ll enjoy fully agentless monitoring that far surpasses the capacities of standard monitoring tools such as SAP Solution Manager.

A golden source of truth

Why juggle multiple network monitoring tools and environments when you can do it all from one place? PRTG creates a single, unified view of all your critical data, giving you end-to-end visibility into important SAP Basis functionalities.

Ensure the smooth operation of SAP ERP systems and ultimately critical business processes of a company such as production, warehousing, sales, finance, or human resources.

Enhanced system security

Increasing compliance and security requirements in the SAP environment call for modern monitoring, which alerts IT in the event of deviations and indicates unauthorized access via log files.

PRTG SAP monitoring continuously checks compliance and provides timely information about violations, and immediately sounds the alarm if there is a deviation.

What SAP observability looks like in PRTG

Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking SAP Basis, SAP HANA SQL databases, and other SAP system components. Show availability, resource utilization, system and SAP application performance, and other key metrics in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the overview you need to troubleshoot SAP performance issues and downtime.

How it works: An overview of SAP monitoring in PRTG

With flexibility to use as little as 25 SAP sensors, up to an unlimited number, PRTG can monitor any SAP system, no matter how complex.

 

Scansor's 50 preconfigured SAP sensors can track:

 

  • SAP Basis, including update errors, queue status, dialog response times, system dumps, and even individual SAP jobs
  • SAP databases, including backups and tablespaces on HANA, Oracle, DB2, and SAP CheckDB
  • SAP cloud solutions, including SAP Cloud Connector, integration flows, and Execution Management exceptions
  • SAP security metrics, including SAP certificate status, the number of users with defined or a combination of permissions, and security-related syslog error codes

Want your monitoring to go even more in-depth? Scansor's special SAP sensors can monitor additional metrics, including:

  • SAP ABAP system components' version information
  • Job logs and application logs
  • Faulty PI messages
  • tRFC/qRFC inbound and Outbound queues

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

“Since using PRTG, we have matured how we report out overall application uptime, maintenance, and mean time between failure for all critical applications to our board of directors. PRTG allows us to not just look at a single event, but to leverage historical data to prevent future failures and to measure how we are making improve­ments over time.”

Bill Sorrells, CTO
Dayton Children's Hospital

“We have found these sophisticated levels of monitoring to be highly effective, improving the end user’s experience of the systems and applications in use, giving us the opportunity to provide a proactive resolution rather than having the end user raise issues.”

Saif Akil, Head of Service Management
Acurus

“Before PRTG, applications and hardware all gave messages, but all separately, so we had to search through hundreds of e-mails to find the problem. It was always only afterwards that we saw that something was going on within the infrastructure. To mitigate the issue, we also considered other software. PRTG stood out because of its user-friendliness, flexibility and minimal consultancy investment.”

Wim Vandenberghe, ICT Manager
Soenen Golfkarton

PRTG is set up in a matter of minutes and can be used on a wide variety of mobile devices.

SAP Monitoring: FAQ

 

What is SAP?

SAP, which stands for Systems, Applications, and Products in Data Processing, is a multinational software corporation that makes enterprise software to manage business operations and customer relations. Founded in 1972 by five former IBM engineers in Germany, SAP is one of the world's leading producers of software for the management of business processes.

What is Scansor?

Scansor is a SAP-monitoring tool made by itesys AG – Switzerland's leading SAP Basis service provider. Scansor's preconfigured sensors are designed to seamlessly integrate with PRTG. Once installed, you can track your SAP metrics from the same PRTG environment where you monitor the performance of other components across your network, giving you a single, unified, and streamlined view of your organization's entire infrastructure.

How does PRTG monitor SAP?

Once you install Scansor on PRTG, add as many of the preconfigured sensors as you need to your monitoring environment. Each sensor continuously tracks one variable. PRTG alerts you if performance is at risk of falling below predetermined thresholds so you can troubleshoot and fix the issue. If you already use PRTG, this process will be familiar, even if you haven't used it to monitor your SAP system before.

How do I install Scansor SAP sensors on PRTG?

Paste the Scansor files in the PRTG installation directory's "Custom Sensors" folder, making sure each file is in the right subfolder. There are three subfolders: "EXE", "EXEXML", and "SNMP".

Run a PRTG cluster? You'll need to install Scansor on both PRTG servers.

What is a sensor in PRTG?

In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive. On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.

We asked: would you recommend PRTG? Over 95% of our customers say yes!

Paessler conducted trials in over 600 IT departments worldwide to tune its network monitoring software closer to the needs of sysadmins. The result of the survey: over 95% of the participants would recommend PRTG – or already have.
