In SAP API Management (part of SAP Integration Suite), policies like Performance-Traceability are used to collect metrics or logs for API proxies. Let’s determine how to view this data:
Step 1: Understand the Policy- The Performance-Traceability policy, available from the SAP Business Accelerator Hub, typically logs performance data (e.g., latency, request counts) or traceability information for an API proxy.
Step 2: Data Storage- In SAP API Management, policy-generated data (e.g., logs, metrics) is stored within the API Management runtime and accessible via its monitoring tools.
Step 3: Evaluate Options-
A. Third-party monitoring tool: While possible with custom integration, SAP API Management doesn’t natively export policy data to third-party tools without additional setup.
B. API monitor under Monitor → Integration APIs: The API Portal’s "Monitor" section includes an API analytics/monitoring dashboard where performance and traceability data for API proxies are displayed.
C. SAP Cloud ALM: Focused on application lifecycle management, it’s not the primary tool for viewing API proxy metrics.
D. SAP Analytics Cloud: A business intelligence tool, not directly integrated with API proxy monitoring.
Step 4: Official Verification- The SAP Help Portal’s "Monitoring APIs" section confirms that the "Monitor" tab in the API Portal provides analytics and logs for API proxies, including data from policies like Performance-Traceability.
Conclusion: Option B is the verified answer, as it aligns with SAP API Management’s native monitoring capabilities.References:
