Prerequisites

Hardware

Redpeaks collector must be installed on a dedicated Linux VM from which SAP environment will be monitored remotely.

The hardware requirements directly depends on the number of SAP systems that you want to monitor.​

SAP systems	CPU	Application Memory	Disk
<10	4 Cores	6 GB	50 GB
<50	4 Cores	8 GB	100 GB
<100	6 Cores	12 GB	200 GB
>100	8 Cores	16 GB	500 GB

​ Note:

Hardware specification is indicative. It may need to be adapted to the volume of monitoring data to collect and analyze.

Software

Supported OS:

Linux CentOS/SUSE/RedHat (7 or above) systemctl must be available for a smooth installation

Mandatory software:

Minimum Java OpenJDK 11 (64 bits)

We recommend using latest openJDK versions (Currently tested on version 22).

SAP JCO drivers for SAP NetWeaver systems

SAP HANA drivers for HANA systems

Network

Network routes must be open between Redpeaks server and all nodes/servers of the monitored SAP systems. Below table indicates the standard ports to open.

SAP system type	Ports to open (defaults)
SAP NetWeaver	36XX (Message server) 33XX (App. Server) 48XX (if using SNC) 5XX13 5XX14 5XX00
SAP HANA	3XX13 3XX15
SAP BusinessObjects	64XX (XX: System number) 8080 8443
SYBASE	49XX
Oracle	15XX
DB2	50000 or 25000 for LUW, 44XX instead
MSSQL	1024-5000
MaxDB	72XX - 75XX

Users and authorizations

Redpeaks will connect remotely to your systems by using a dedicated user on each system. To create those users is a prerequisite.

MUST READ : User authorizations details

NetWeaver - ABAP:

Redpeaks uses a Communications data user associated with the provided authorization profile

In most cases, user can be created in client 000. But sometimes access to target client must be necessary as well.

NetWeaver - SAPControl:

Redpeaks uses SAPControl web services to collect information on the system.

The access to these services can be either without authentication, or controlled by using an OS user similar than [SID]adm, see Note 927637

Look for the section describing the use of service/protectedwebmethods, make sure to allow the access of all Getter/Reader services

HANA:

SQL user associated with MONITORING role​

BusinessObjects: ​

User access to CMS repository and CMC portal
