• To visualize SAP monitoring data in your ScienceLogic SL1 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 a ScienceLogic SL1 collector
• It will connect remotely to each SAP system and needs to be installed in a network area allowing to do so

• Those responsible for installing the solution should have the following skills:
  • Basic linux administration for installing software and creating user accounts
  • SAP basis users & authorizations administration
  • Database users administration
  • Network administration to implement network routes
  • SL1 administrator for installing collector and configuring the powerpack

• A Redpeaks license, requested at support@redpeaks.io.
• A dedicated Linux VM with appropriate specs
• Network routes open toward SAP application ports
• A dedicated user created on each system to monitor (See create SAP users)
• 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 the gear icon on the top right to open a menu. Then, select Admin configuration and go the Upload/Download section.
• Click on Install JCO driver and select the driver file (file name similar to sapjco30P_17-10005328_linux.tgz).

• The SL1 collector will pull data from Redpeaks API to discover SAP environement and collect SAP metadata.
• You just need to create a Generic event server to activate the API
• Click the gear icon on the top right to open a menu. Then, select Plugins.
• Select the Generic server type in the plugin selector and press create.

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 ScienceLogic SL1 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 ScienceLogic SL1.
