Trento Project

The perfect companion for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications

Trento is an open-source web application, built by SUSE, to enhance day-2 operations of SAP workloads. It can be used to proactively prevent infrastructural issues by diagnosing common issues, validate systems configuration against best practices, and remove toil from routine OS tasks on mission-critical systems.

Why Use Trento

User Friendly

Trento is built with cutting-edge technology to be intuitive and easy to use. It provides just the right amount of information that is really needed at a glance.

Discover System Issues

It automatically discovers how an SAP system is structured and configured, and gives users a comprehensive overview of their entire SAP landscape.

Prevent Downtime

It is designed to help enterprise and integrator system administrators avoid common infrastructure problems that can result in delayed service implementations or unplanned downtime.

Features

Monitoring

Trento integrates with a Prometheus backend and ad-hoc exporters to provide real-time metrics on business-critical SAP infrastructure. Unlike generic observability solutions, Trento provides contextual information that are peculiar to how SAP systems are structured.

System Configuration Checks

Trento features a bespoke configuration validation engine designed to promptly flag any non-compliant system configurations, aligning with SUSE's industry-leading best practices. SAP Architects can extend this engine by building additional system checks with a YAML-based Domain Specific Language.

Flexible APIs

Powered by an API-driven design, all the data consumed via the web UI can also be leveraged by third-party systems via transparent, explicitly specified and documented integration interfaces.

And more...

Trento is still under active development and will be releasing more features in the upcoming months.

How it Works

Trento is composed by two main parts, the Trento Server and Trento Agents. The Trento Server is further composed by a multi-tier web application and a background service, the Trento Checks Engine, codenamed Wanda.

You can run the Trento Server anywhere you want: we support Kubernetes-based container platforms via an Helm Chart, and provide also classic RPM packages that can be installed in traditional SUSE Linux Enterprise environments.

The Trento Agents are shipped with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications, so they run within the workload that needs to be monitored. These needs to connect outbound to the Server.
