PAS-C01 Design of SAP Workloads on AWS Practice Question
A company is planning to run SAP NetWeaver on AWS. Which TWO services are recommended for monitoring the SAP system? (Choose TWO.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Many exam-takers confuse infrastructure monitoring (CloudWatch) with security or compliance tools (Inspector, Config, Trusted Advisor), forgetting that SAP-specific monitoring requires the SAP monitoring agent to bridge the gap between OS metrics and application-level health.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Amazon CloudWatch with SAP monitoring agent
Amazon CloudWatch with the SAP monitoring agent is recommended because it collects SAP-specific metrics (e.g., work process usage, dialog response times, and queue lengths) and sends them to CloudWatch for custom dashboards and alarms. This integration is a standard AWS best practice for monitoring SAP NetWeaver health and performance. Additionally, SAP Solution Manager provides comprehensive monitoring and management capabilities for SAP landscapes, including real-time monitoring of SAP systems, alerting, and root cause analysis. It is an essential SAP tool for monitoring and is fully supported on AWS.
