Summary
The documentation page lists many MSSQL-related log tables and references, which are inherently Windows-centric due to SQL Server's historical association with Windows and the use of Windows-specific dynamic management views (DMVs) such as sys.dm_os_windows_info. There are no equivalent examples or references for Linux-based database systems (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL) or for SQL Server on Linux. The documentation also does not mention Linux-specific monitoring tools or patterns except for Prometheus exporters, which are listed after the SAP HANA tables and before the MSSQL tables, but the MSSQL section is much more extensive and detailed.
Recommendations
  • Add examples and references for Linux-based database systems commonly used with SAP, such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, if supported.
  • Include SQL Server on Linux-specific DMVs or clarify which MSSQL tables and views are relevant for SQL Server running on Linux.
  • Provide parity in documentation for Linux monitoring tools (e.g., collectd, sysstat) and how their data can be integrated with Azure Monitor for SAP solutions.
  • Balance the depth of documentation between Windows/MSSQL and Linux/OSS database systems to avoid the perception of Windows bias.
  • Explicitly state platform compatibility for each log table and reference, indicating whether it applies to Windows, Linux, or both.
