PRTG and Scansor: The perfect pairing for SAP system monitoring
Tired of wrestling with multiple monitoring environments?
Put away your singlet. Now you can monitor the availability, capacity, and performance of your SAP system and databases from one easily-accessible location.
Paessler's partnership with SAP monitoring specialist Scansor means Scansor's powerful preconfigured SAP sensors quickly integrate into your PRTG monitoring environment, making your life easier and enhancing user experience with unprecedented end-to-end visibility into every component of your network infrastructure.
5 reasons why to choose PRTG as your SAP monitoring tool
Seamless integration
As SAP systems tend to be complex, SAP monitoring can be really complicated. But not with PRTG. Because they're preconfigured, Scansor SAP sensors work right out of the box for quicker workflows.
Just paste the respective files into the "Custom Sensors" folder in your PRTG installation directory, and add them to your monitoring setup.
Proactive issue detection
Identify, troubleshoot, and fix issues fast. Pick your preferred warning and error thresholds, and you'll get automatically alerted if there's a risk your SAP services might go under.
This way, you can sort things out before system failures disrupt critical business processes (and your phone starts ringing off the hook) – and steadily increase the stability of your infrastructure.
Agentless SAP monitoring
PRTG is agentless and directly reads values from SAP via RFC and other standardized interfaces, so there's no need to install any software on the devices you want to monitor.
You’ll enjoy fully agentless monitoring that far surpasses the capacities of standard monitoring tools such as SAP Solution Manager.
A golden source of truth
Why juggle multiple network monitoring tools and environments when you can do it all from one place? PRTG creates a single, unified view of all your critical data, giving you end-to-end visibility into important SAP Basis functionalities.
Ensure the smooth operation of SAP ERP systems and ultimately critical business processes of a company such as production, warehousing, sales, finance, or human resources.
Enhanced system security
Increasing compliance and security requirements in the SAP environment call for modern monitoring, which alerts IT in the event of deviations and indicates unauthorized access via log files.
PRTG SAP monitoring continuously checks compliance and provides timely information about violations, and immediately sounds the alarm if there is a deviation.
What SAP observability looks like in PRTG
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking SAP Basis, SAP HANA SQL databases, and other SAP system components. Show availability, resource utilization, system and SAP application performance, and other key metrics in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the overview you need to troubleshoot SAP performance issues and downtime.

Monitor SAP: FAQ
What is SAP?
SAP, which stands for Systems, Applications, and Products in Data Processing, is a multinational software corporation that makes enterprise software to manage business operations and customer relations. Founded in 1972 by five former IBM engineers in Germany, SAP is one of the world's leading producers of software for the management of business processes.
What is Scansor?
Scansor is a SAP-monitoring tool made by itesys AG – Switzerland's leading SAP Basis service provider. Scansor's preconfigured sensors are designed to seamlessly integrate with PRTG. Once installed, you can track your SAP metrics from the same PRTG environment where you monitor the performance of other components across your network, giving you a single, unified, and streamlined view of your organization's entire infrastructure.
How does PRTG monitor SAP?
Once you install Scansor on PRTG, add as many of the preconfigured sensors as you need to your monitoring environment. Each sensor continuously tracks one variable. PRTG alerts you if performance is at risk of falling below predetermined thresholds so you can troubleshoot and fix the issue. If you already use PRTG, this process will be familiar, even if you haven't used it to monitor your SAP system before.
How do I install Scansor SAP sensors on PRTG?
Paste the Scansor files in the PRTG installation directory's "Custom Sensors" folder, making sure each file is in the right subfolder. There are three subfolders: "EXE", "EXEXML", and "SNMP".
Run a PRTG cluster? You'll need to install Scansor on both PRTG servers.
What is a sensor in PRTG?
In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive.
On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.
