# Best Practice 1.7 – Implement single pane of glass health monitoring across your SAP workloads
<a name="best-practice-1-7"></a>

Configure your SAP applications, AWS services, and any dependent components to provide information about the flow of transactions across the workload. Combine metrics from multiple sources to create a single pane of glass visualization for the health of your SAP workload and make this dashboard accessible to your key users. Use this information to determine when a response is required and to assist you in quickly identifying the factors contributing to an issue impacting your business.

 **Suggestion 1.7.1 - Combine application metrics, workload configuration, user metrics, and dependency health in a single location** 

Combine application monitoring metrics, workload configuration data, user metrics and dependency health in a single location or tool to allow end-to-end monitoring of your SAP workload and its health for end-user business processes. This can be achieved through the use of SAP Solution Manager, custom CloudWatch dashboards and metrics, or third-party monitoring tools.

 Best practice is to create business facing health dashboards with traffic light health and trends, which allow a drill-down view of workload availability. Drill down capabilities allow users and operators to assess the specific component of the technology stack which may be causing a problem or underperforming.
