[jaskisin]

This is in continuation of my previous Article Monitoring of SAP Systems Using Azure Monitors – Part III

7. ALERTS

We can also setup alerts on the data that is being stored in the Log Analytics, we can design the alert as per our thresholds and requirements

7.1 Create Action Group

For sending any notification we first need to create action group in azure Monitor, to do so we need to go to Monitor → Alerts → Manage Actions and then click on New Action Group

Fill out all the requested details and then click on Next: Notifications

Fill out all important details such as Name, Notification type, email id etc.… and then click on Next: Action

Fill the details about the Actions if any and then click on Next: Tags

Specify the Tags if any and then click on Next: Review + Create

Review all the settings of the Action Group and click on Create

Wait for the deployment to finish

7.2 Setting Up Notification

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

Select the resource to Log Analytics Workspace in which the telemetry data is getting stored

We also need to specify the Condition by clicking Add Condition and then click on Custom log search

Specify the query which needs to be executed for triggering alert, here we are only using the query to check if system is up and running fine.

Specify the condition after which email will be triggered and click Done

Condition will be added to the Alert

Now add action group to which email will be triggered

Specify the other requested details and click on Create

Wait for the Rules to create which we can see in the Alert Rules

So, Once Log Analytics receive GRAY from the sapcontrol as below

Alert will catch this anomaly and display it on Alert Dashboard

Further details about Alert can be checked by clicking on this.

Below is the sample email sent with details about the alert

8. LOGS

8.1 Log Analytics Workspace

We can see and check the telemetry data which is been extracted by the providers

8.2 Azure Monitor Activity Log

We can also check the deployment logs about the providers in the Activity log of Azure Monitor

8.3 Extraction Log

We also see the extraction log of each call to system in the queue of Storage account.

Now SAP System installed on Azure is getting monitored using Azure Monitors for SAP Solutions.

BEST OF LUCK!!
