What is a primary feature of the HANA cockpit?

The HANA cockpit serves as a web-based management tool specifically designed for administrators to monitor and manage SAP HANA systems effectively. Its primary feature is centered around providing comprehensive insights into the overall health and performance of HANA systems. Through the cockpit, administrators can access dashboards that display key performance indicators, system alerts, and detailed metrics that help in assessing system status and performance trends. This proactive monitoring capability allows for timely interventions, ensuring optimal system operation and resource management.

The other options describe functionalities that, while relevant to database management, are not the central focus of the HANA cockpit. Running queries directly on the database, creating tables, managing indexes, and performing data transformations are tasks typically carried out using other tools or within the database environment itself, rather than being central to the monitoring capabilities of the HANA cockpit.
