• To visualize SAP monitoring data in your Datadog instance, you need to install a Redpeaks collector in each data center hosting the systems.
• Redpeaks will act as a proxy between your SAP systems and Datadog.
• It will connect remotely to each SAP system and will therefore need to be installed in a network area allowing to do so

Among the myriad benefits this integration offers, these stand out prominently:

• Agentless deployment:
  • No transports or agent to install on your SAP systems

• Out of the box Datadog dashboards
  • From top level overview to technical details within a single pane of glass:
    • S/4HANA
    • HANA
    • BusinessObjects
• Detailed SAP transaction time per step monitoring
  • Without any transport, you will have complete visibility of response time of every transactions

• See AGENTIL's Redpeaks Prerequisites Documentation for more details.

Insalling and configuring Redpeaks should not take more than an hour if prerequisites are set correctly

• Install the JAVA JRE
• Download the latest Redpeaks package.
• Copy the package into a temporary folder - Not in /opt
• Execute below commands:

tar -zxvf [PACKAGE FILE NAME]
./install.sh
systemctl start promonitor

• Redpeaks should be up and running.

You can configure Redpeaks using a web interface:

• Visit http://[PRO.MONITOR VM HOSTNAME]:8888 in a web browser. The default username/password combination is admin/admin

• Click the gear icon on the top right to open a menu. Then, select Licenses.
• Copy the provided license keys and save

• Get the latest SAP JCO driver for Linux and unzip the file to extract a tgz archive.

• Click on Install JCO driver and select the driver file (file name similar to sapjco30P_17-10005328_linux.tgz).

To connect Redpeaks to Datadog, you need first to create keys in Datadog and then register those keys in Redpeaks

• You need first to connect to you Datadog instance and create dedicated API and APP keys
• Navigate to the organization settings and use API & APP keys tab to create the keys:

• Now you will register the keys within a Redpeaks plugin.
• Go back to Redpeaks web interface and click the top right gear icon and navigate to Plugins.
• Select the Datadog type in the plugin selector and press create.
• Hostname must be as such: : https://api.datadoghq.[Region] (Ex. https://api.datadoghq.eu)
• Set your Datadog API and APP keys and save
• Redpeaks is now connected to your Datadog instance.

For connecting Redpeaks to a SAP system, you will need first to create a group, a system, a user and a connector.

• Create your first group

• Fill the group formular
• Don't foget to set group shortname and company shortname:

• You can now create your first system
• From the group contextual menu, select “Add system”
• Select the appropriate system
• Don't forget to set system shortname

• Now you can create a user
• From configure menu, select add user

• User profiles are associated to a group
• It will be used later when creating a connector

• Now you can create connector
• From the system contextual menu, select “Add connector”
• Select the appropriate connector type

• Then fill the connector form
• The connector holds the necessary connection parameters to reach the system
• Press Save&Test, you should see a green popup indicating a successful connection

The monitoring of SAP systems is done via monitoring profiles

• Create your first profile
• You can import, create and customize profiles from the profiles section on the left

• From the profiles menu, select Select default profiles
• Select the Datadog profile and press Save.
• The imported profile will appear in the list of profiles
• Now you can assign your profile via the assign button

• From the assign menu, just move the available connectors from right to left, then save.
• Your connectors are now associated with a set of predefined monitors

• Last step: Activate the monitoring:
• Select a connector and press “Start monitoring”

Monitoring is now active for all your systems, which you should see in Datadog.

• Once you activate the integration from the marketplace, predefined dashboards will appear in your Datadog instance.
• This is a link to the latest dashboards
