What tools can you use to monitor the SAP HANA database if direct SQL connections are restricted?

Using SAP HANA Cockpit to monitor the SAP HANA database is particularly advantageous when direct SQL connections are restricted. This web-based tool provides a comprehensive overview of system performance and health through a user-friendly interface. It offers a variety of monitoring features such as system alerts, resource usage statistics, and the ability to view system configuration and runtime information without the need for direct access to the database via SQL.

SAP HANA Cockpit is specifically designed for system administrators to manage HANA instances. It enriches the monitoring experience by consolidating various metrics and operation tasks in real time, and it allows for security-compliant monitoring even when direct access to SQL is limited.

In contrast, while SAP Solution Manager is useful for a broader range of application lifecycle management tasks, it is not primarily focused on the continuous monitoring of HANA databases in scenarios where direct SQL access is restricted. SQL Developer is more commonly associated with Oracle databases and wouldn't serve as a suitable option for HANA monitoring. Database Studio is an effective tool for HANA database access and management but still relies on direct SQL connections, which makes it less ideal in contexts where such connections are restricted.
