SAP Datasphere Capacity Units

Your CU consumption, visible before it becomes a problem.

CU Monitoring Report reads straight from the underlying HANA database of your tenant, calculates consumption by space and object, and tracks it against your contracted cap, it shows up on a dashboard when it reaches the threshold, so there are no surprises.

From the live dashboard on our own Datasphere tenant. KPI and per-space figures are exact, the timeline is an illustration of the consumption pattern.

Why use this tool

Less guesswork, more runway.

Capacity Units are billed at the tenant level, but consumption is driven space by space, object by object. Without a breakdown, the first sign of trouble is often a throttled task, or a call from your account executive about ordering more capacity.

Alerts, not check-ins Define your own thresholds against your contracted cap (say, 80/90/100%) once. CU Monitoring Report flags a space the moment it crosses one, so nobody has to log in and check consumption by hand.

Without CU Monitoring Report

Consumption is only visible in the Capacities Monitoring app, one CSV export at a time. No per-object trend, no forecast, and no alert until you're already close to the limit.

With CU Monitoring Report

The underlying HANA database is read directly and calculated daily, so you see which space is driving growth and how many weeks of runway are left.

Built on your own data: consumption and your tenant's contracted CU cap are joined automatically, so headroom is always a live calculation.

What it tracks

The consumption picture, assembled for you.

Every figure comes from your own tenant's underlying HANA database, refreshed on a schedule you control. Nothing here is estimated after the fact.

One pipeline, end to end

Three steps. Each one feeds the next.

01

Collect

Reads the underlying HANA database on a schedule, alongside your tenant's contracted CU cap. No CSV exports, no manual copy-paste.

02

Aggregate & compare

Calculates consumption by space, object and day, and compares it against the contracted cap to compute headroom and trend.

03

Surface & alert

Pushes the result to the dashboard and flags any space crossing its threshold before a task gets throttled.
