====== Prerequisites ======

===== Hardware =====
  * Redpeaks collector must be installed on a dedicated Linux VM from which SAP environment will be monitored remotely.
  * The hardware requirements directly depends on the number of SAP systems that you want to monitor.​

^  SAP systems   ^  CPU      ^  Application Memory  ^  Disk   ^
|  <10           |  4 Cores  |  6 GB    |  50 GB  |
|  <50           |  4 Cores  |  8 GB    |  100 GB  |
|  <100          |  6 Cores  |  12 GB   |  200 GB  |
|  >100          |  8 Cores  |  16 GB    |  500 GB  |
​
**Note:**
  * Hardware specification is indicative. It may need to be adapted to the volume of monitoring data to collect and analyze.
===== Software =====
**Supported OS:** 
  * **Linux** CentOS/SUSE/RedHat (7 or above) **systemctl** must be available for a smooth installation

**Mandatory software:**
  * Minimum Java **OpenJDK 21 (64 bits)**
    * We recommend using latest openJDK versions (Currently tested on version 22).
  * SAP JCO drivers for SAP NetWeaver systems
  * SAP HANA drivers for HANA systems

===== Network =====
Network routes must be open between Redpeaks server and all nodes/servers of the monitored SAP systems. Below table indicates the standard ports to open. 

^  SAP system type      ^  Ports to open (defaults)                                              ^
|SAP NetWeaver          | ABAP - 36XX (Message server) \\ 33XX (App. Server) \\ 48XX (if using SNC) \\ 5XX13 \\ 5XX14 \\ 5XX00  |
|SAP HANA               |ABAP - 3XX13 \\ 3XX15                                                          |

|DB2 | 50000 or 25000 for LUW, 44XX instead |
|MSSQL | 1024-5000 |
|MaxDB |72XX - 75XX |

===== Users and authorizations =====

  Redpeaks will remotely connect to your systems using a dedicated user account on each system.
  As a prerequisite for enabling monitoring, these users must be created and available in advance.
