- A
Enable AWS CloudTrail to capture system performance logs.
Why wrong: CloudTrail logs API calls, not system performance.
- B
Configure SAP Solution Manager to send monitoring data to Amazon CloudWatch via the SAP Cloud Platform.
Solution Manager integration provides comprehensive monitoring.
- C
Use AWS Trusted Advisor to monitor real-time CPU utilization.
Why wrong: Trusted Advisor provides recommendations, not real-time monitoring.
- D
Use Amazon CloudWatch custom metrics to monitor SAP application metrics.
Custom metrics allow monitoring of SAP KPIs.
- E
Use VPC Flow Logs to monitor database query performance.
Why wrong: Flow Logs capture network traffic metadata, not database performance.

PAS-C01 Technology Practice Question
This PAS-C01 practice question tests your understanding of technology. This is a configuration task: choose the command set that satisfies every stated requirement. Small differences — like 'secret' vs 'password' or 'transport input ssh' vs 'all' — change whether the answer is correct. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
Which TWO of the following are valid methods for monitoring SAP system performance on AWS? (Choose two.)
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
✓
Configure SAP Solution Manager to send monitoring data to Amazon CloudWatch via the SAP Cloud Platform.
Option B is correct because SAP Solution Manager can be configured to forward monitoring data to Amazon CloudWatch via the SAP Cloud Platform (now SAP BTP) using the Cloud Management Gateway or direct integration. This allows SAP-specific metrics like system load, work process usage, and response times to be visualized and alerted on in CloudWatch, enabling unified monitoring alongside AWS infrastructure metrics.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

- ✗
Use VPC Flow Logs to monitor database query performance.
Why it's wrong here
Flow Logs capture network traffic metadata, not database performance.
Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
The trap here is that candidates confuse AWS CloudTrail (audit logging) with performance monitoring, or assume VPC Flow Logs can measure database query performance when they only capture network-level metadata.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
The integration between SAP Solution Manager and Amazon CloudWatch typically uses the SAP Cloud Platform (BTP) to expose metrics via the CloudWatch PutMetricData API, or alternatively via a custom agent that reads SAP CCMS (Computing Center Management System) metrics. This allows SAP Basis administrators to set CloudWatch alarms on thresholds like dialog response time or RFC queue depth, combining SAP-specific KPIs with AWS infrastructure metrics like EC2 CPU credit balance for burstable instances.
KKey Concepts to Remember
- Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
- Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
- Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
TExam Day Tips
- Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
- Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A healthcare organisation deploys an application with a public-facing web tier and a private database tier. The database subnet has no public IP and only accepts connections from the web tier's security group. Questions like this test whether you can design cloud network isolation using VNets/VPCs, subnets, and security group rules.
