In order to establish a connection between the SAP and Splunk we need to install and configure an agent that runs within the SAP system and exports all the monitoring data into Splunk.
There’s some work to be done to facilitate successful data transmission. Please follow these steps:
If a hot fix transport is included in the PowerConnect release notes, please import the transport at this point in the process.
