Azure Monitor for SAP solutions is an Azure-native monitoring product for SAP landscapes that run on Azure. Alerts notify you when monitored metrics cross a defined threshold. When you run critical SAP workloads, timely notification of problems helps you respond before issues affect your business processes.
In this article, you configure alert rules and action groups in the Azure portal to receive notifications when your SAP environment needs attention.
Prerequisites
An Azure subscription.
A deployment of an Azure Monitor for SAP solutions resource with at least one provider. You can configure providers for:
- The SAP application (NetWeaver)
- SAP HANA
- Microsoft SQL Server
- High availability (HA) Pacemaker clusters
- IBM Db2
Create an alert rule
Use the following steps to create an alert rule for your SAP monitoring provider instance. You select an alert template, set a threshold, and configure an action group for notifications.
Sign in to the Azure portal.
In the Azure portal, go to your Azure Monitor for SAP solutions resource. Make sure you have at least one provider configured for this resource.
Go to the workbook you want to use. For example, SAP HANA.
