SAP Solution Manager 7.2 · Application Operations: MAI Backbone

What level of access does the host agent give SolMan, and why is it key to outside discovery?

Root/admin-level OS access — reading OS stats, log files, even running custom scripts to monitor anything.

It's key to outside discovery because it tells SolMan exactly what's installed on a host: apps, library versions, kernel, hostname, OS version, and IP.

This is one card from the KnowCard library. The full way to learn it — spaced-repetition review, progress tracking, and AI explanations — lives in the KnowCard app. We’re in private beta now; iOS & Android are coming soon.
