What is the SAP StackPack?

The SAP StackPack is used to create a near real time synchronization with your SAP system and also pulls the metrics from it. The components supported are:

• SAP Host

• SAP Host instance

• SAP Process

• SAP Database

• SAP Database Component

Prerequisites

To set up the StackState SAP integration you need to have:

• ​StackState Agent V2 installed on a single machine that can connect to both your SAP Instance and StackState.

• A running SAP instance.

Networking requirements

The StackState SAP integration requires the following TCP ports:

• 1128 for HTTP

• 1129 for HTTPS

Enable SAP integration

To enable the SAP check and begin collecting data from your SAP host instance:

1. Edit the Agent integration configuration file /etc/stackstate-agent/conf.d/sap.d/conf.yaml:

   • Include details of your SAP instance:

     • host

     • url - Use http for basic authentication (user/pass) and https for client certificate authentication.

     • user

     • pass - Use secrets management to store passwords outside of the configuration file.

   • To authenticate with a client certificate and private key, add:

     • verify - Set to False to skip verification of the client certificate (default True).

     • cert - Path to the client side certificate.

     • keyfile - Path to the private key for certificate.

     init_config: {}
     ​
     instances:
       - host: TEST-01             # <sap_host_name>
         url: https://test-01      # <sap_host_url>   
         user: test                # <username>
         pass: test                # <password>
     # Extra parameters for client certificate authentication:
         verify: False             
         cert: /path/to/cert.pem   # <certificate_path>
         keyfile: /path/to/key.pem # <keyfile_path>

2. ​Restart the StackState Agent(s) to publish the configuration changes.

3. Once the Agent is restarted, wait for the Agent to collect data and send it to StackState.
