Does the agent need inbound network access to my SAP hosts?

No. The agent is outbound-only. It polls Farrenio over HTTPS for its config and pushes metrics the same way. No new firewall rules, no exposed ports on your SAP boxes.

Can my service desk see alerts without touching production?

Yes. The service_desk role is read-only on alerts and incidents, with no SAP transaction access, no config changes and no token reveal. Granular per-action RBAC means you can carve out exactly what each team sees.

How long does a proof of concept take?

A 30-minute call to scope. We typically have one production SID streaming live metrics within an hour of agent install, and the rest of the landscape follows as fast as you can roll out the package.

The HANA metric to check first: backup age

If you only check one HANA metric every morning, make it backup age: how long ago the last successful data backup completed, per database, including each tenant.

A schedule is not a recovery point

A backup schedule can exist, be enabled and still produce nothing usable: a full disk, an expired credential, a tenant added after the schedule was written. The job overview looks fine. The recovery point does not.

Backup age measures the thing that matters at restore time, independent of how the backup was supposed to happen. It is also easy to compare across databases, which makes the one that has drifted stand out.

HANA signals that matter in daily operations

Backup age, per database and tenant
Time since the last successful data backup, not the schedule.
Memory against the allocation limit
Seen before the out-of-memory dumps start.
Log and data volume growth
Trended, because a full log volume stops the database.
Service status
Across the system database and every tenant.
System replication state
Where it is configured, the worst service decides the status.

How FCC covers HANA

Same console as the ABAP stack

When a work process hangs, what the database is doing is one click away, not another logon.

SYSTEMDB and tenants

Read as one operational view without flattening the boundary between them.

Backup alerting

Thresholds on backup age per database, routed by severity.

Trends and forecasting

Growth and capacity forecasts on the collected time series.

For deep database administration you still use the native tools. FCC is the operational overlay: the signals worth watching continuously, across many databases, in one place.

Common questions

Does FCC run HANA backups?

No. Backups stay with your existing tooling. FCC watches whether they succeed and how old the last good one is.

Are multi-tenant databases supported?

Yes. SYSTEMDB and tenant databases are discovered and shown together, with scope-aware filters between them.

Check backup age across every HANA database you run.

Connect one HANA system and see its backups, memory and services in FCC. FCC is in Beta.
