To view the SAP full screen monitoring, the SAP monitoring agent must be installed. In the SAP HANA (single-node deployment without high availability required) scenario, the SAP monitoring agent must be installed on the HANA nodes.

Prerequisites

Ensure that Application Operations Management (AOM) ICAgent has been installed.

AOM ICAgent is used to collect host OS metrics, such as CPU, memory, and disk. If it has not been installed, install it by referring to Installing an ICAgent.

Ensure that the AOM FullAccess permission has been assigned to the agency created for the host.

AOM FullAccess is used for the authentication of AOM metric reporting API. The following describes the procedure to configure the permission.

Log in to the management console.
In the navigation pane on the left, click and choose Identity Access Management under Management & Governance.
Click Agencies in the left pane, and then click Create Agency in the upper right corner. The Create Agency page is displayed.
Set agency parameters.
- Agency Name: AOMFullAccess (this name is only for reference)
- Agency Type: Select Cloud service.
- Cloud Service: Select Elastic Cloud Server (ECS) and Bare Metal Server (BMS).
- Validity Period: Retain the default setting.
- Click Next to configure the permission:
  1. Select Region-specific projects for Scope.
  2. Select the region where the cloud server is located.
  3. Enter AOM FullAccess in the search box and select it in the search result.
  4. Click OK.
Configure the agency created in the previous step for the ECS.
1. In the left navigation pane, click and choose Computing > Elastic Cloud Server.
2. Select the ECS for which you want to configure the agency and click its name to switch to the basic information page.
3. Click the edit button next to Agency in the Management Information area, select the agency created in 4, and save the modification.

CAUTION:

AOM 2.0 is now available in the CN-Hong Kong, AP-Bangkok, AP-Singapore, AF-Johannesburg, TR-Istanbul, LA-Mexico City1, LA-Mexico City2, LA-Sao Paulo1, and LA-Santiago regions. Subscribe to AOM 2.0 and Upgrade ICAgent before installing the SAP full screen monitoring for these regions.

Procedure

Installing and Configuring the Monitoring Agent

Run the following commands to obtain the installation script to install the monitoring agent:

cd /tmp

The download paths of the script vary depending on regions. For details about how to obtain the path, see Table 1. The following commands show the download path in AP-Bangkok.

cd /tmp

curl https://obs-sap-ap-southeast-2.obs.ap-southeast-2.myhuaweicloud.com/sapmon/install.sh | sh

Modify the configuration.

Run the following command to encrypt the password:
/usr/local/sapmon/bin/ktool -e
Enter the password.

Run the following command to modify the configuration file:

vim /usr/local/sapmon/config/sapmon.ini

Table 2 lists the parameters. Set the parameters based on the actual situation. Change the password to the encrypted password obtained in 2.a.

**Table 2** Configuration parameters
Type	Name	Description	Example Value
DEFAULT	log_level	Log level	INFO
	log_file	Log file name. The log file path is /var/log/huawei/sapmon/.	sap_metrics.log
	hostname	OS hostname	hana-1709
database.hana	enable	Whether to obtain database metrics. The value can be true or false. NOTE: In the SAP HANA (single-node deployment with high availability required) scenario, the parameter is set to true for the active node and to false for the standby node.	true
	ha_mode	Whether the database is deployed in high availability (HA) mode. If yes, set this parameter to true. If no, set it to false.	false
	sid	Database SID	S00
	instance_number	Database instance number	00
	tenant_database_name	Name of the tenant database. This parameter is used in the multi-tenant scenario. If the HANA database is for single tenant, you do not need to set this parameter. If the HANA database is for multiple tenants, enter the name of the tenant database.	-
	username	SAP HANA username NOTE: You need to use the following SQL statements to grant required permissions to this user: CREATE USER <username> PASSWORD <password> NO FORCE_FIRST_PASSWORD_CHANGE; GRANT CATALOG READ to <username>; GRANT SELECT on SCHEMA _SYS_STATISTICS to <username>	-
	password	SAP HANA user password	-

NOTE:

If you need to monitor multiple tenant databases, copy and paste parameters under database.hana, and change database.hana to database.hana.<tenantdb_name>.

Replace <tenantdb_name> with the tenant database name, and change values of username, password, and other required parameters. username and password indicate the username and password for logging in to the tenant database.
