SAP HANA Cockpit Administration - Daily DBA Tasks and Monitoring

This practical live session is designed for SAP HANA administrators who want to build an efficient daily routine. Since most common daily checks - resource consumption, disk volumes, blocked transactions, system replication, and backup status - surface as alerts or tie directly into alert-driven workflows, this session will focus on using this central hub for proactive monitoring

Daily Alerts Overview and Resolution Workflow

• Starting every day with the Alerts view: viewing, filtering, prioritizing (high/medium/low), resolving non-disruptive issues.
• Monitoring Disk and Volume Usage (Data/Log Growth Alerts)
• Using Alerts for disk-full warnings → drilling into Disk Usage tile/charts, tracking data/log volume sizes/trends, and preventive actions like compression or cleanup.
• Resource Consumption Checks: CPU, Memory, and Threads
• Alert-driven resource monitoring → CPU/Memory alerts, Performance Monitor tile, identifying top consumers.
• Blocked Transactions, Sessions, and Lock Detection
• Spotting blocking alerts → Sessions/Threads app integration, analyzing blocked transactions/wait times and safe session termination.
• System Replication and Backup Status Assurance
• Replication health alerts (sync lag, disconnects) → System Replication tile checks, backup catalog alerts/failures, last backup verification, log backup frequency, and quick status validation.
• Q&A and Building Your Personalized Daily Cockpit Dashboard
