Prerequisites

• 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.​

​ Note:

• Hardware specification is indicative. It may need to be adapted to the volume of monitoring data to collect and analyze.

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

Redpeaks will connect remotely to your systems by using a dedicated user on each system. To create those users is a prerequisite.

MUST READ : User authorizations details

NetWeaver - ABAP:

• Redpeaks uses a Communications data user associated with the provided authorization profile
  
• In most cases, user can be created in client 000. But sometimes access to target client must be necessary as well.
• The ABAP connector will connect via the message server, which will redirect the connection to the most available application server
• It is therefore mandatory that message AND application server's hosts and ports (36XX, 33XX) resolve and can be reached.

NetWeaver - SAPControl:

• Redpeaks uses SAPControl web services to collect information on the system.
• The access to these services can be either without authentication, or controlled by using an OS user similar than [SID]adm, see Note 927637
• Look for the section describing the use of service/protectedwebmethods, make sure to allow the access of all Getter/Reader services

HANA:

• SQL user associated with MONITORING role​

BusinessObjects: ​

• User access to CMS repository and CMC portal
