Is Avantra Observability right for you?
Your SAP landscape never stops. Your team shouldn't have to watch it constantly.
Avantra Observability is for SAP operations teams, SAP engineers, and MSPs who are done wasting hours on work a machine should handle.
Hours lost to manual checks and reporting
Your team is running the same checks, building the same spreadsheets, and generating the same compliance reports by hand, every week. Avantra automates all of it.
Surprise outages that become business incidents
By the time alerts fire, the damage is done. Avantra’s AI-based predictive analytics identify downward trends before they cause disruption, giving your team time to act, not react.
Alert fatigue from tools not built for SAP
Generic monitoring platforms generate noise because they don’t understand SAP context. Avantra’s SAP-native checks reduce false positives and surface what actually matters.
Compliance and audit checks that take days
Monthly SAP HotNews analysis, user profile audits, and security checks that used to take days now happen continuously and automatically.
No single view of the hybrid landscape
Your SAP estate spans on-premises, Cloud ERP, BTP, and hyperscalers and each has its own console. Avantra gives you a single pane of glass across all servers, databases, SAP systems, application layers, environments, cloud services, and third-party APIs.
ITSM tools disconnected from your SAP reality
ServiceNow doesn’t know your SAP landscape, but Avantra does. Push real-time SAP status directly into your ITSM solution.
End-to-end monitoring
Full-stack visibility, from the OS to the SAP application layer
Avantra delivers a single, consistent view of the entire SAP estate, anywhere it’s deployed and even as it moves during transformation projects. Prebuilt checks deploy automatically based on your architecture, and you decide what to monitor, when, and within what thresholds.
S/4HANA
Avantra monitors S/4HANA at the OS, database, and application layers from a single agent-based deployment. Prebuilt checks cover system performance, background job health, and business process availability. Dynamic System Selectors let teams manage large landscapes by policy rather than system by system.
SAP HANA
Avantra includes dedicated HANA database checks covering memory usage, replication status, and service-level health, with no separate tooling or manual configuration. Predictive analytics surface gradual degradation before it becomes an outage.
RISE with SAP
Avantra monitors RISE with SAP alongside on-premises and hyperscaler-hosted workloads from the same platform, so hybrid landscapes don’t need separate tools. It also supports an integration path with SAP Cloud ALM for teams moving to Cloud ERP.
SAP BTP
Avantra monitors BTP Global accounts, sub-accounts, and Cloud Foundry applications alongside core SAP systems, so BTP doesn’t sit outside the main view. As BTP usage grows, the same auto-deployed checks and dashboards cover it.
Inside the platform
Five things Avantra does that generic monitoring can't
SAP is not a web application running on a container. It has its own failure modes, its own performance language, and its own operational concepts. Avantra is built for all of them.
Predictive analytics & ML
Stop chasing false alarms. Catch real problems early.
Standard threshold-based monitoring generates noise with SAP workloads and misses genuine problems that build slowly over time. Avantra AIR analyzes system activity, understanding normal usage patterns and predicting potentially negative situations.
- Avantra automatically understands the regular ebb and flow of SAP systems activity, eliminating false positives caused by simple transient threshold violations.
- Genuine degradation trends trigger alerts earlier before they become outages, with automated root-cause analysis.
- Up to 90% of false positives eliminated.
Security & compliance
Continuous SAP security posture, not a monthly scramble.
SAP HotNews analysis, profile monitoring, audit log checks, and configuration drift detection used to mean hours of manual work every month. Avantra automates all of it continuously, so your compliance posture is always current, and your team is never surprised by an audit.
- Automated SAP HotNews analysis: instantly see which systems are impacted by which SAP security notes
- System Change Auto Detection tracks all significant changes within your SAP systems
- Profile and client settings continuously compared against defined policy
- Custom audit checks supported for unique compliance requirements
Integrations & notifications
Your SAP status, everywhere your team already works.
Avantra connects to your existing ITSM and ITOM toolchain without custom development. Native ServiceNow integration covers incidents, events, and CMDB sync via Service Graph. AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud integrations work bidirectionally. For everything else, REST and SOAP API channels are available.
- ServiceNow: create incidents, events, and sync your monitored landscape to the CMDB automatically
- AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud: bi-directional integration including auto-discovery of cloud-hosted SAP systems
- Noise reduction: filters ensure the right person gets the right alert, not everything at once
- Notifications can trigger automations: gather root-cause analysis data the moment a problem is detected
Smart onboarding
Value from day one, deeper insights as you add credentials.
Avantra agents auto-register with the Avantra server and begin basic monitoring immediately, even without SAP ABAP transports or system credentials. Add system credentials and Avantra automatically activates 140+ SAP-specific checks and backfills historical data into dashboards.
- 34+ OS and database checks activate immediately; 140+ SAP-specific checks unlock as transports and credentials are added
- Agent updates are managed centrally from the Avantra server; no OS-level access to monitored systems required
Dashboards & reporting
The right view for every stakeholder, built once, shared everywhere.
Create unlimited dashboards for any combination of systems, customers, or teams. Convert business processes into dashboards by mapping their underlying SAP components. Generate SLA, compliance, performance, and audit reports automatically, on schedule or on demand.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Common questions from operations teams and their buyers. Reach out if there’s something we haven’t covered.
How is Avantra different from broad SAP management suites?
Avantra is purpose-built for SAP operations monitoring and delivers value from day one, while broad SAP management suites typically need significant configuration effort and deep SAP expertise before they deliver monitoring value. Avantra agents auto-detect your SAP landscape and deploy 160+ best-practice checks without manual setup. The platform adds ML-based predictive analytics, continuous security and compliance automation, and workflow automation, and it is designed for MSPs and large enterprises managing complex, multi-tenant SAP landscapes. Avantra integrates with SAP Cloud ALM and complements the broader SAP toolchain.
How does Avantra complement Solution Manager, Landscape Management and Cloud ALM?
Avantra complements Solution Manager, Landscape Management and SAP Cloud ALM by providing monitoring, observability, and landscape operations and automation that support teams throughout their SAP modernization journey. As organizations plan their move to Cloud ERP, many are evaluating the future of Solution Manager (regular support ends in 2027) and Landscape Management. SAP Cloud ALM is SAP’s next-generation ALM solution and is ideal for customers primarily on Cloud ERP. For hybrid environments, landscape automation, or multi-tenant management, Avantra integrates with Cloud ALM and extends it to core SAP operations. Read about the SolMan transition.
Does Avantra work with SAP Cloud ERP (RISE) and hybrid landscapes?
Yes. Avantra monitors RISE with SAP alongside on-premises and hyperscaler-hosted workloads from a single platform. One consistent view covers the entire estate, regardless of where each system runs and as systems move between environments.
What SAP components and system types does Avantra monitor?
Avantra monitors five core object types: server (OS layer), database, SAP system, SAP application layer, and environment. Coverage spans S/4HANA, SAP ECC, SAP HANA, RISE with SAP, and SAP BTP, including BTP services such as SAP Integration Suite API Management, SAP Build Work Zone and SAP Automation Pilot. Supported databases include SAP HANA, SAP ASE, SAP MaxDB, SAP IQ, Oracle, IBM DB2 and Microsoft SQL Server, and Avantra monitors SAP running on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. Monitoring is enabled through a lightweight agent and optional SAP ABAP transport imports. The more you add, the deeper the visibility.
How long does it take to deploy Avantra?
Avantra agents auto-register with the Avantra server and begin basic monitoring immediately on first install. Even without SAP ABAP transports imported, 34+ OS and database checks activate from day one. As SAP transports and RFC credentials are added, the full 160+ SAP-specific checks activate automatically, and historical data is backfilled into dashboards and notifications, so there is no big-bang go-live risk.
Is Avantra suitable for MSPs managing multiple SAP customers?
Yes. Avantra is built from the ground up with a multi-tenant service provider architecture. Every monitored system is assigned to a customer entity, and permissions can be granularly delegated. MSPs can manage all their customers’ SAP landscapes from a single Avantra instance with per-customer dashboards, SLA reports, and scoped access controls. Customers can also be given direct access to their own dashboards via the Avantra web UI or mobile app. See Avantra for MSPs.
