Is there a template or any information available on what to monitor on Windows servers runnning SAP R/3?
We plan to build one, but we're looking for existing users to help us. if you'd be willing to work with us, please send me a private message.
Hi Denny,
I know this is an old post, but just curious if any progress was made in developing an APM template for SAP? We'll be evaluating APM shortly, and this template would be extremely helpful.
Thanks in advance..
This is something we're actively investigating. SAP is a different beast altogether, and is much harder than the other packaged apps we've built templates for; however, requests for this are second only to Java.

Craig,
This is a need for me too.
Is there a blog/changelog/etc where we can follow the advances on this?
Please let me know what can I do to help (providing data, feedback, etc).
Thanks,

We also desire an SAP monitor for R/3 and Netweaver
stripet, or anyone else in this thread, would you be willing to work me and one of our developers to create an SAP application template for APM? Unfortunately due to SAP licensing terms we're unable to obtain a copy of SAP for our lab so we'll need the assistance of the Thwack community to develop an SAP template for APM.
Hi,
how is the progress on SAP monitoring template... I do have a few SAP environments whichcould be used for testing should this still be a requirement on your part.
A lack of an SAP evaluation or reasonably priced development license has thus far hampered our efforts. Monitoring SAP via their proprietary API requires continuous access to the latest versions of SAP software for both Development and QA to validate against. We haven't given up, but progress on the SAP front has been slow moving. We'll keep the community updated as more information becomes available.
Hi Guys,I don't suppose there has been any update to this? Does anyone have an idea of which basic services are required for SAP to operate if I were to create a very basic template?

">aLTeReGo just wondering if there has been any additional progress or if you are still looking for help. We are in the middle of an sap rollout and we are being pushed hard to be able to monitor the servers AND the application / user experience. Our CTO recently brought in some old "business partners" who are proposing a total replacement of Orion. It's going to be a hard argument if whatever they are proposing does everything Orion does an more. Not sure what there solution is yet, we just had the first meeting last week. But would be killer if we had something to counter back with.
No pressure
I can't commit to anything yet, but it's something we're continuing to work towards. We'll update Thwack with more information as it becomes available.
Just my occassional query to see if there is any progress in this area?
in the meantime there are a lot of SAP monitors / sensors for SolarWinds Orion available.
Find them by Google with the keywords "Orion SAP Sensors"
Any updates on this other than the Orion SAP Sensors?
Have you seen the following Application Templates?
what version? we currently have 6.1
Those templates should work with SAM v5.5 or later.
aLTeReGo any progress with #sap (#sap hana / #sap hcm / SAP PI / ...) monitoring in SAM? Any chance for templates not using Icon-Software's plugin?
This would be a question better suited for stevenwhunt, as he is now the Product Manager for SAM.
We have not made any updates which would remove the SAPOrion requirement.
Thanks aLTeReGo and stevenwhunt for the reply.
Do I understand correctly that the main problem is to connect to CCMS or in other words to collect data via SAP's own protocol?
Anyway if someone would be interested in natively monitor SAP in SAM please let me know as I'm also interested in such solution.
From my understanding, SAP exposes its data via a web services API. You can likely collect anything you need via a custom script component monitor. We have also opened a feature request for voting ( ).
