Connect Splunk to SAP Hana Database

[hv64]

Hi,

We want to connect Splunk to SAP Hana Database.

Have you some idea ?

Do we use ngdbc.jar and 
Put that driver in: $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/drivers

Regards.

Hi @hv64 

Yes, you can connect Splunk to SAP HANA using Splunk DB Connect by placing the SAP HANA JDBC driver (ngdbc.jar) in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/drivers.

• Download the SAP HANA JDBC driver (ngdbc.jar) from SAP.
• Copy ngdbc.jar to $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/drivers.
• Restart Splunk
• In Splunk DB Connect, create a new database connection: - I believe you need to select on of the "Generic JDBC"  database types from the list as HANA isnt specifically listed.
• Edit the JDBC URL to:
  jdbc:sap://<host>:<port> -
• Choose the ngdbc.jar as the driver.

Make sure the driver version matches your SAP HANA server version.
