# SAP BTP Monitoring

SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) is a unified cloud platform that provides services for application development, integration, data management, and analytics. It is commonly used to connect SAP and non-SAP systems, orchestrate integrations, and support extension scenarios across enterprise landscapes.

Monitoring SAP BTP with IT-Conductor enables centralized visibility into integration services, connection health, and runtime activity. This ensures early detection of issues, improved system reliability, and proactive management of critical business integrations.

### Prerequisites <a href="#prerequisites" id="prerequisites"></a>

Before configuring SAP BTP monitoring in IT-Conductor, complete the following steps within your SAP BTP environment.

#### Assign Required Entitlements <a href="#assign-required-entitlements" id="assign-required-entitlements"></a>

1. Navigate to your subaccount in SAP BTP.
2. On the left side menu, navigate to **Entitlements**.
3. Verify that the **Process Integration Runtime** service (API plan) is assigned.

### Monitoring a BTP Integration suite in IT-Conductor <a href="#monitoring-a-btp-integration-suite-in-it-conductor" id="monitoring-a-btp-integration-suite-in-it-conductor"></a>

In the service grid, locate the SAP BTP Services node and expand it.

<figure><img src="/files/xw0kX23d5sUxfCijNlGb" alt=""><figcaption><p>Figure 19: SAP BTP Integration Suite connection in IT-Conductor grid</p></figcaption></figure>

The integration suite connections will be added here.

<figure><img src="/files/tiTBFfIO5YnXNHseNbGx" alt=""><figcaption><p>Figure 20: SAP BTP Integration Suite metrics in IT-Conductor</p></figcaption></figure>

#### **Key Monitoring Metrics** <a href="#key-monitoring-metrics" id="key-monitoring-metrics"></a>

* **Availability** - the operational state and accessibility of the BTP connection.
* **Connection Failures** - refer to the events where attempts to establish a connection are unsuccessful.
* **Heartbeat** - the periodic signal sent to the BTP connection, enabling real-time downtime detection
* **Missing Account** - the absence of a required user account or resource within the BTP connection.
* **Retriever Failures** - refer to the errors or issues encountered during the retrieval process of essential data or information.

By clicking the <img src="/files/uEjqdT0XqJBm6IUsLixD" alt="" data-size="line"> icon next to any of these metrics, you’ll see a bar chart showing the breakdown of each metric by the minute.

<figure><img src="/files/MktO6CQRqkxPMBjitpby" alt=""><figcaption><p>Figure 21: BTP Availability metric</p></figcaption></figure>

#### Other metrics <a href="#other-metrics" id="other-metrics"></a>

**Datastores**

Datastores are persistence components used by integration flows to temporarily or permanently store message data during processing. They support scenarios such as message buffering, retry handling, and decoupling between sender and receiver systems.

**Integration flows**

Integration flows (iFlows) are executable processes that define how data is routed, transformed, and processed between systems within SAP BTP Integration Suite. Monitoring includes key submetrics such as processing logs, failed message processing logs (MPLs), and total MPLs, providing visibility into execution status, error rates, and overall integration performance.

<figure><img src="/files/28dqdR2pYkga2YlARL4W" alt=""><figcaption><p>Figure 22: BTP Message Processing logs metric</p></figcaption></figure>

**Integration packages**

Integration packages are containers used to group and manage related integration artifacts, such as integration flows, value mappings, and scripts. They help organize content and support transport and lifecycle management across environments.

**Keystores**

Keystores are secure repositories used to store cryptographic keys and certificates required for authentication, encryption, and secure communication. The **days to expiration** metric shows the number of days remaining before these keys and certificates expire.

<figure><img src="/files/4rpiTKot2GdEEVLsGqMc" alt=""><figcaption><p>Figure 23: BTP Keystores Days to expiration metric</p></figcaption></figure>

**PGP Keys**

PGP keys are used for encryption and decryption of messages to ensure data confidentiality during transmission. In SAP BTP, they are typically managed within the keystore and used in secure integration scenarios.

**Resource usage**

Resource usage metrics provide insight into the consumption of platform resources, including storage for integration content, database utilization, and overall system capacity. Monitoring these metrics helps prevent capacity issues and ensures optimal performance. IT-Conductor monitors the following metrics within resource usage:

* **Files Content File Size Max**: Tracks the largest file size stored in the content repository, indicating peak storage usage for integration artifacts.
* **DB Connection Borrow Count**: Measures how often database connections are requested from the connection pool, reflecting database access demand.
* **DB Connection Usage**: Indicates the current utilization of database connections, helping identify potential connection pool saturation.
* **Datastore Average Payload**: Shows the average size of messages stored in the datastore, providing insight into data volume per entry.
* **Datastore Usage**: Monitors the total storage consumed by datastore entries, helping track persistence capacity.
* **Monitoring Table Size**: Tracks the size of monitoring-related database tables, which can grow based on logging and message tracking activity.
* **DB Transaction Duration**: Measures the time taken to complete database transactions, indicating database performance and latency.
* **Message Size Max (Bytes)**: Captures the largest message size processed, useful for identifying unusually large payloads.
* **Total Messages**: Counts the total number of messages processed, reflecting overall system throughput.

<figure><img src="/files/DykU8teaqTR7JXkgIQED" alt=""><figcaption><p>Figure 24: BTP Resource Usage metrics</p></figcaption></figure>

**Service endpoints**

Service endpoints represent the exposed URLs or interfaces through which integration services are accessed by external systems. Monitoring endpoints ensures availability, responsiveness, and correct connectivity for inbound and outbound integrations.
