SAP HANA Monitoring
With SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer
Find the root cause of SAP HANA slowdowns faster with detailed wait-time analytics across on-premises and cloud deployments.
Track SAP HANA Performance Metrics in Real Time
When your SAP landscape slows down, generic infrastructure charts won't help. SolarWinds® Database Performance Analyzer (DPA) tracks what really matters: CPU usage, HANA memory consumption, disk usage, active connections, and cache hit rates. DPA presents these in easy-to-understand trend charts and visualizations, with less than 1% overhead on your production database server.
By plotting CPU, memory, and disk usage trends on the same timeline as wait events and SQL statement performance, DPA gives you true multi-dimensional visibility. You can quickly see which workloads are consuming the most resources and whether spikes in wait time align with increases in memory usage. All of this is available from a single dashboard across SAP HANA 2.0 on-premises, SAP HANA Cloud, and Azure Cloud HANA deployments.
Troubleshoot SAP HANA Issues and Find Root Cause Faster
Every DBA has heard the phrase: “SAP is slow.” Database Performance Analyzer helps teams find out why in just a few clicks. By using wait-based analytics, now extended to SAP HANA, SolarWinds® DPA builds on the same approach it uses across Oracle®, Microsoft SQL Server®, IBM Db2®, and other supported database platforms.
It graphically shows where the longest wait times are, lets users drill in to identify the root cause of performance issues, and brings together query details, plans, blocking, and metrics so teams can see which wait types are affecting performance and where to focus next. Query details and plan views help identify queries with rising wait time and can surface execution plan changes that coincide with increased wait time, while blocking analysis helps teams identify root blockers, see which SQL statements are being blocked, and determine which blocking sessions are responsible for the longest overall waits.
Set Up SAP HANA Monitoring Without the Headache
Getting monitoring set up is quick and easy. SolarWinds DPA is agentless, so there’s no software to install on your SAP HANA database server or the underlying Linux operating system. And there are no extra components to patch or maintain through a HANA upgrade.
You provide the hostname or IP address, port, database name, and read-only monitoring credentials, and DPA validates the connection and starts collecting data. Most teams begin seeing meaningful performance data within a few hours of registration. For larger environments with hundreds of SAP HANA targets, the DPA dashboard consolidates everything into a single view across on-premises, Azure, and SAP HANA Cloud.
Monitor SAP HANA Securely Without Compromising Access Controls
DPA uses read-only credentials to monitor SAP HANA, so teams do not need broad administrative access to the database. A dedicated monitoring user with precisely scoped permissions supports least-privilege requirements and fits cleanly into existing credential review cycles.
DPA supports SSL encryption for monitoring connections, which helps protect SQL statements, wait events, and performance metrics in transit. Administrators can use role-based access controls to give DBAs, developers, and application owners access to the performance data they need without giving them control over configurations or alert settings outside their scope.
Automate SAP HANA Observability and Scale Without the Complexity
DPA can alert teams when wait time or resource metrics cross defined thresholds, helping them catch issues before users feel the impact. Scheduled reports keep teams informed without requiring anyone to log in and pull data manually.
When integrated with SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted, DPA puts database wait times on the same timeline as application and infrastructure metrics, giving teams a clearer path from symptom to root cause. DPA also offers a REST API that lets teams retrieve data and automate common management tasks without manual steps in the UI.
