SAP S/4HANA Cloud - up to SAP Focused Run 3.0

SAP S/4HANA Cloud - up to SAP Focused Run 3.0

This page describes the monitoring setup for SAP S/4HANA Cloud with SAP Focused Run up to 3.0.

For SAP Focused Run up to SAP Focused Run 3.0 we use a PULL data collection mechanism to collect metrics from SAP S/4HANA Cloud.

Technical Prerequisites

The following technical prerequisites have to be met in order to monitor this scenario:

  • SAP S/4HANA Cloud Data Replication (formerly known as SAP S/4HANA Cloud) can be monitored with Focused Run 1.0 Feature Pack 01
  • For all other monitoring categories you need FRUN 2.0 Feature Pack 01 

Configure Cloud Service
