What is the primary purpose of 'Log Volume' monitoring in SAP HANA?

The primary purpose of 'Log Volume' monitoring in SAP HANA is to keep track of the size and health of transaction logs for recovery purposes. In a database management system like SAP HANA, transaction logs are crucial for ensuring data consistency and durability. They record all changes made to the database, allowing for recovery in case of system failure or data corruption.

Monitoring log volumes helps database administrators understand how much transaction log space is being utilized and whether it is approaching capacity. This is essential for planning backups, ensuring that there is sufficient log space for ongoing transactions, and maintaining the overall health of the database. Proper log volume management is vital for maintaining system performance and ensuring that recovery processes can be executed reliably and efficiently.
