1.WORKBOOKS

It provides a flexible canvas for analyzing data and creating advanced visual reports in the Azure portal. They enable you to leverage multiple data sources in Azure and combine them to create unified interactive experiences

1.1 SAP HANA

To check the workbook on SAP HANA, we can select SAP HANA in the Monitoring tab and then  select the monitored SAP HANA instances that we need to view.

First we see an overview of the SAP HANA instance, where we can see an overview of the highest CPU and memory allocated so far.

We can also see more details about CPU, memory, disk and network, as well as the services running on the HANA server.
In the Usage tab we can see a detailed CPU usage.

1.2 Linux Operating System

To monitor the Linux operating system workbook, we can select the operating system (Linux) in the Monitoring tab

If we continue on the same tab, we can also see an overview of the average memory consumption, the space used in the file system and the network in and out of the virtual machine.

1.3 SAP NetWeaver

To monitor SAP NetWeaver workbook, we need to go to SAP NetWeaver Blade in the Monitoring tab.
The Overview tab contains a chart of system availability. We can also group them by SID.

We have option to group the availability by application server.

2.ALERTS

We can also set up alerts on the data stored in Log Analytics and design the alert according to our thresholds and requirements.

2.1 Create Action Group

To send a notification, we first need to create an action group in Azure Monitor. To do this, go to Monitor → Alerts → Manage Actions and then click New Action Group

Complete all the requested details and then tap on Next: Notifications

Complete all the requested details and then tap on Next: Action

Enter details about possible actions, then click Next: Tags
Specify tags if necessary, then click Next: Review + Create.
Review all action group settings and click Create.

 

Wait for the deployment.

2.2 Configure Notification

For settings up alert, we first go to Azure Monitor → Alert and tap New Alert Rule

Opt the Log Analytics workspace resource where the data is stored.
Need to define the condition by clicking “Add Condition” and then “Custom Log Search”.

Define the query that must be executed to trigger the alert. Here we only use the query to check whether the system is working properly.
Also, the condition upon which the email will be triggered and click Done. The condition is added to the alert.

Now,

Created Rules we can see in the Alert Rules.

Therefore, when Log Analytics receives a GRAY from an SAP control, Alert detects this anomaly and displays it in the alert dashboard.

One mail will be trigger to the registered mail id for the notification.

3. LOGS

3.1 Log Analytics Workspace

We may observe and review telemetry data collected by providers.

2.2 Azure Monitor Activity Log

We can also check the provider's deployment logs in the Azure Monitor activity log.

Here, the SAP system installed in Azure is monitored with Azure Monitor for SAP Solutions.

Conclusion-

We discussed how to deploy and set-up workbooks, alerts, notifications, and troubleshooting logs for Azure Monitor for SAP solutions.
