Best Practice 16.1 – Have data to evaluate performance

To evaluate the performance of an SAP system and take action in the event performance is suboptimal, monitoring data must be collected for compute, memory, storage, and networking as described in the Well-Architected Framework Performance Excellence guidelines concerning monitoring your resources. As stated in the Well-Architected Framework Operational Excellence pillar, understanding the current state of the system, putting in place key performance indicators, and collecting metrics in a timely manner for diagnosis are crucial for investigating performance issues.

Suggestion 16.1.1 – Gather and store data relevant to performance metrics

To collect and view relevant SAP monitoring data, you should install and configure the AWS Data Provider for SAP and set up metrics in your chosen monitoring tools that support your SAP workload. Further details on monitoring and additional recommendations are available in the Operational Excellence pillar.
