The Practical Guide to HANA Monitoring Solutions

The best way to check the availability and performance of any application or database is to actually login and run something, in this case a transaction. For HANA, the simplest way is to execute a SQL against the database. Automating this would serve both purposes of ensuring the database is accessible as well as being able to provide response time for particular transactions, on a periodic basis. Furthermore, it can be used to automate regular jobs such as health checks or housekeeping, without creating intricate database jobs.
