Correct answer & explanation
✓
Configure SAP Solution Manager to send monitoring data to Amazon CloudWatch via the SAP Cloud Platform.
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.
