Datadog integration
Architecture
To visualize SAP monitoring data in your Datadog instance, you need to install a Pro.Monitor collector in each data center hosting the systems.
Pro.Monitor will act as a proxy between your SAP systems and Datadog.
It will connect remotely to each SAP system and will therefore need to be installed in a network area allowing to do so
