On the **Providers** tab: 1. Select **Add provider**. 1. On the creation pane, for **Type**, select **SAP HANA**.  1. Optionally, select **Enable secure communication** and choose the certificate type from the dropdown menu. 1. For **IP address**, enter the IP address or hostname of the server that runs the SAP HANA instance that you want to monitor. If you're using a hostname, make sure there's connectivity within the virtual network. 1. For **Database tenant**, enter the HANA database that you want to connect to.

The SQL port is automatically determined based on the instance number. 1. For **Database username**, enter the dedicated SAP HANA database user. This user needs the **MONITORING** or **BACKUP CATALOG READ** role assignment. For nonproduction SAP HANA instances, use **SYSTEM** instead. 1. For **Database password**, enter the password for the database username. You can either enter the password directly or use a secret inside Azure Key Vault. 1.
