PAS-C01 Operations and Maintenance Practice Question

An SAP system administrator wants to monitor the CPU and memory usage of SAP HANA database instances. Which AWS service should be used to collect and visualize these metrics?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

Amazon CloudWatch Agent

The Amazon CloudWatch Agent can collect memory metrics from EC2 instances, including SAP HANA databases. Option A is wrong because CloudTrail is for API auditing, not metric collection. Option C is wrong because Systems Manager Run Command is for executing scripts, not continuous monitoring. Option D is wrong because standard CloudWatch metrics do not include memory usage by default; memory metrics require the CloudWatch Agent.
