Monitoring SAP HANA

The SAP HANA sensor is automatically deployed and installed after you install the Instana agent.

Note: Currently, monitoring SAP HANA is available only if the agent uses Azul Zulu 1.8 runtime. Eclipse OpenJ9 11 is not supported.

Configuration

Database Connection

Depending on the mode in which SAP HANA is run (multi container vs single container), different username and password combinations can be set.

Please note that the sensor requires a database to exist. That means SAP HANA started a process called 'hdbindexserver'.

# SAP HANA
com.instana.plugin.saphana:
  singleContainer:
    user: ''
    password: ''
  multiContainer:
    HXE:
      user: ''
      password: ''
    my-test-db:
      user: ''
      password: ''

Default user is SYSTEM.

Providing drivers

When you use the offline agent, the com.sap.cloud.db.jdbc:ngdbc driver needs to be provided manually. The driver can be downloaded from the Maven Central Repository. Currently, the supported version is 2.4.64.

To add the drivers to the agent, add it to the directory <agent-installation-dir>/system/com/sap/cloud/db/jdbc/ngdbc/2.4.64.
