This is in continuation of my previous blog post Monitoring of ABAP System on AWS Using CloudWatch – Part I

4. DEPLOYMENT OF LAMBDA FUNCTION


4.1 Using Serverless Application Repository


Go to Serverless Application Repository from AWS Console and then go to Available applications → Public Applications and search for sap-monitor


Fill out all the required details for the connectivity to the SAP system which has following

  • Application Name: This is the stack name of the application created via AWS Cloud Formation

  • SAPSIDParameter: SAP System ID

  • LayerVersionParameter: need to provide sapjco Lambda Layer Version

  • SecurityGroupParameter: Need to provide Security Group IDs which needs to be assigned to the Lambda Function

  • SubnetParameter: Need to provide Subnet IDs which will provide Internal IP address for the Lambda execution

  • SAPClientParameter: Need to Provide Client Number of SAP

  • SAPHostParameter: Need to provide hostname/IP-Address of Primary Application Server

  • SAPInstanceIDParameter: Need to provide the SAP Instance Number

  • SAPRFC0UserParameter: Need to provide RFC User for Lambda Function

  • SAPRFC1PasswordParameter: Need to provide the password the RFC user

  • ScheduleParameter: This will schedule /SDF/MON job automatically into the system



This will start the deployment at AWS Cloud formation of the Lambda functions with the parameters provided


Below screen will appear when the deployment gets finished


We can see the deployed Lambda function in AWS Console.



4.2 Using AWS CloudFormation


It could happen that the application in Serverless Application Repository is not available for some of the regions then in that case we can also use AWS Cloud Formation template to deploy the same

Go to AWS Cloud Formation from the AWS console → Go to Create Stack and then click on With new resources (standard)


Manually upload the below Cloud Formation template

Upon uploading the above template then click on Next


Specify the Stack Name for the execution


Specify all the required parameters for execution and then click Next


Specify the IAM Role that is required for cloud formation stack execution


Specify the advanced options for Stack Policy and Rollback Configuration


Specify Notification Options and Stack creation options(if required) and then click Next


Review the settings and then click Create Stack


This will create and execute the stack, and below screen will appear after successful finish of the Stack



5. TESTING DEPLOYMENT


As our lambda function is in place to monitor our ABAP system, we need to test the lambda function that if Lambda function is getting though the SAP System

5.1 Lambda Execution Configuration


We need to check the configuration that will be used for the Lambda execution which should be as per our environment

5.1.1 Memory


We need to configure optimized memory that is allowed for Lambda function to use during the execution. Default is 512 MB and must be changed as per the requirement and test cases



5.1.2 Timeout


We need to configure optimized timeout value after which the Lambda function will be forcefully stopped. Default is 30 seconds and must be changed as per the requirement and test cases



5.1.3 VPC


We need to configure the required value for the VPC of the Lambda function as execution will happen using the configured network settings. VPC, Subnets and Security groups needs to be assigned as per the infrastructure



5.2 Lambda Test Event


First, we need to configure the Test Event for Lambda function which we can feed for lambda execution

Go to Lambda from AWS Console and then click on the newly created function


Click on Test and then put below text and click on Invoke
{
“refresh”:true
}


After a successful execution below screen will appear



5.3 Checking Metrics


After successful execution we need to be sure that Statistical data has been fetched and stored by AWS CloudWatch from the SAP system.

To check the same, go to CloudWatch from AWS Console and then click on Metrics


Then we must see the metric for SAP System under Custom namespace → sap-monitor → by SID


This confirms that test is successful.

This is end of Part – II, in next part Monitoring of ABAP System on AWS Using CloudWatch – Part III of this article you can find more information about Post Configuration, Dashboard, Notifications and Logs of Monitoring ABAP Systems via AWS.
