Monitor SAP® systems from a centralized view

With SAP applications powering an increasing number of critical business processes, we recognize that ITOps teams need to be able to quickly understand system health at-a-glance and immediately troubleshoot performance issues for SAP solutions within the context of their overall ecosystem. 

With New Relic Monitoring for SAP® solutions, you can now inspect all of your SAP and non-SAP systems through one centralized view of your infrastructure, application, and business processes. It’s also SAP-certified, so it works well with their technology. 

Now you’ll be able to: 

• See SAP application performance and overall health data in one place. Your telemetry metrics, events, logs, and traces all come together in a central view within our UI.
• View your data in relation to your business processes. Understand your infrastructure and application data from the viewpoint of your corresponding business processes, such as order-to-cash and procure-to-pay.
• Spot problems quickly with visualizations. By querying and viewing relevant data in our customizable charts and dashboards, you can identify root causes and resolve problems.
• Prevent problems before they occur. Use our advanced alerting functionality to be notified about problems before they impact your customers.
• Install monitoring centrally for end-to-end visibility. This tool can be installed on a central monitoring server, so you won’t need to install agents on all of your SAP production servers.

The need for SAP observability 

As businesses increasingly rely on a complex collection of software services to power their foundational business functions, performance issues can make a severe impact. Any latency in production orders, invoices, and status reports hinder an organization's ability to innovate. These issues can be challenging to track down and involve issues within SAP systems and non-SAP systems.  

With New Relic monitoring for SAP solutions, you get a centralized view of all of your infrastructure, application, and business processes, whether they are SAP or not. This can help your IT teams to gain early awareness and quickly resolve interruptions and system issues.

Here are some common cases where New Relic monitoring for SAP solutions can help you identify and resolve issues:

• A large customer stops receiving order confirmations because IDocs were sent to a failed partner port. 
• Accounts payable vendor invoices aren't paid when you need them to be, due to a sudden surge of program errors in failed background jobs, caused by a recent new deployment.
• Production orders aren’t going out in a timely manner because of inefficient database calls in a program. 
• Your users in a particular region are experiencing intermittent slowness due to an imbalance of traffic between application servers.
