Hybrid SAP Observability & Monitoring
Avantra Observability Edition is an SAP monitoring and observability platform that covers your entire SAP environment, recording billions of observations and presenting them in personalized dashboards.
Trusted, hybrid observability and automation for SAP Ops—from ground to cloud.
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.
Visibility into the hybrid landscape.
Your SAP estate spans on-premises, Cloud ERP, BTP, and hyperscalers. 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.

SAP Basis Director
End-to-end monitoring: full-stack visibility from OS to SAP application layer
Avantra delivers a single, consistent view of the entire SAP estate, anywhere it’s deployed. Monitor integrations with other systems, cloud services, and core ERP anywhere it runs and even as it moves during transformation projects. Customers adopting BTP can monitor Global accounts, Sub-accounts, and Cloud Foundry applications. Prebuilt checks are automatically deployed based on your architecture. 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, with checks activating automatically as SAP credentials and transports are added. Dynamic System Selectors group S/4HANA systems by role or status so teams can manage large landscapes by policy rather than system by system.
SAP HANA
Avantra includes dedicated HANA database checks alongside its OS and SAP application layer monitoring, covering memory usage, replication status, and service-level health. These checks are part of the same auto-deployed check set that activates as credentials are added, so HANA visibility does not require separate tooling or manual configuration. Predictive analytics apply to HANA metrics the same way they do elsewhere in the stack, surfacing gradual degradation before it becomes an outage.
RISE with SAP
Avantra monitors RISE with SAP alongside on-premises and other hyperscaler-hosted workloads from the same platform, so hybrid landscapes do not require separate tools for cloud and on-prem ERP. This gives teams a consistent view as systems move between deployment models during a transformation project. It also supports an integration path with SAP Cloud ALM for teams using RISE as part of their transition to Cloud ERP.
SAP BTP
Avantra monitors BTP Global accounts, sub-accounts, and Cloud Foundry applications alongside core SAP systems, so BTP does not sit outside the main monitoring view. This is part of the same single-pane-of-glass coverage Avantra provides across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud-hosted SAP components. As BTP usage grows within a landscape, it is covered by the same auto-deployed checks and dashboards as the rest of the estate, rather than needing a separate BTP-specific tool.
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.
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. No third-party system has yet been found that Avantra cannot integrate with.
- 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
- Output channels include email, mobile app push notifications, AWS SNS/SMS, and any REST or SOAP endpoint

Why Avantra Observability
Purpose-built for SAP
Most monitoring tools were built for general IT infrastructure and bolted onto SAP environments as an afterthought. Generic APM platforms require extensive custom instrumentation to cover SAP at all – and still leave gaps. Broad-scope management suites can take months to configure before delivering value and require deep specialist expertise to operate. Avantra was designed from the ground up for SAP operations, which means it does things out of the box that other tools can’t do at all.
SAP-native from day one
160+ SAP-specific checks are automatically deployed the moment Avantra detects your landscape. There is no custom instrumentation, no manual threshold configuration, and no months-long setup project. Basic OS and database monitoring begins on agent install; SAP-layer checks activate automatically as credentials and transports are added. Teams that have previously spent weeks standing up monitoring tooling are typically live with Avantra in days.
Predictive, not just reactive
Threshold-based monitoring tells you when something has already gone wrong. Avantra AIR identifies trends before they cause outages with AI-driven root cause analysis. The result is fewer surprise incidents and more time for proactive work.
SAP security and compliance, automated
HotNews analysis, profile audits, change detection, and audit log checks are not manual quarterly tasks in Avantra – they run continuously and automatically. Your compliance posture is always current, and your team is never caught off guard by an audit or a missed security note.
Built for the complexity of real SAP landscapes
Avantra monitors the full stack – OS, database, SAP application layer, BTP, hyperscaler workloads, and third-party integrations – from a single platform. It is designed for the multi-system, multi-customer, multi-cloud environments that SAP operations teams run, not simplified single-stack use cases. MSPs and large enterprises can manage hundreds of systems across dozens of customers from one instance, with per-customer dashboards, scoped permissions, and SLA reporting built-in.
Fits into the toolchain you already have
Avantra integrates with ServiceNow, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and any REST or SOAP endpoint without custom development. It complements SAP Cloud ALM for teams planning their Cloud ERP transition and works alongside existing ITSM and ITOM tooling rather than replacing it. No third-party system has yet been found that Avantra cannot integrate with.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Avantra different from broad SAP management suites?
How does Avantra complement Solution Manager, Landscape Management and Cloud ALM?
Does Avantra work with SAP Cloud ERP (RISE) and hybrid landscapes?
Yes. Avantra covers RISE with SAP alongside on-premises and other hyperscaler-hosted workloads from a single platform, as described in the RISE with SAP section above.
What SAP components and system types does Avantra monitor?
Avantra monitors across five core object types: server (OS layer), database, SAP system, SAP application layer, and environment. See the S/4HANA, SAP HANA, and SAP BTP sections above for coverage details by technology. Monitoring is enabled via 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.
