What is a role of the SAP HANA Cockpit?

The SAP HANA Cockpit serves as a centralized administration tool specifically designed to monitor and manage SAP HANA databases. One of its key functions is to provide crucial system performance information, enabling administrators to oversee the status, configuration, and performance metrics of one or multiple HANA instances. This includes real-time insights into resource utilization, memory consumption, and performance bottlenecks, which are vital for maintaining an efficient and optimized database system. By focusing on system performance, the HANA Cockpit helps administrators proactively address potential issues, ensuring smooth operations and enhancing overall database management.

The other options address different functionalities that exist within the broader ecosystem of SAP but are not primary roles of the HANA Cockpit. For instance, while business performance KPIs are important, they may not be directly part of the Cockpit's capabilities. Similarly, security and application collaboration are handled through different interfaces and tools specifically designed for those purposes.
