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
SAP BusinessObjects 64XX (XX: System number)
8080
8443
SYBASE 49XX
Oracle 15XX
DB2 50000 or 25000 for LUW, 44XX instead
MSSQL 1024-5000
MaxDB 72XX - 75XX

Users and authorizations

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
