โœ“ Correct Answer & ExplanationAzure Monitor for SAP

Correct Answer

Azure Monitor VM Insights + Azure Monitor for SAP Solutions (AMS)

Why This Answer Is Correct

**Azure Monitor for SAP Solutions (AMS)** is a native Azure monitoring product for SAP workloads. It collects HANA-specific metrics (delta merge, HANA service status, replication lag, host CPU/memory per service) via providers configured in AMS. Combined with **VM Insights** for OS-level metrics (disk IOPS, network, CPU), you get a full-stack view in Azure Monitor / Azure Workbooks dashboards. AMS supports HANA, NetWeaver, high-availability clusters, and SQL Server providers. SAP Solution Manager focuses on SAP-internal monitoring; it complements but doesn't replace Azure-native monitoring.
