Systemconfig.ini file reference

Article
09/29/2024

The systemconfig.ini file is used to configure behavior of the data collector. Configuration options are grouped into several sections. This article lists options available and provides an explanation to the options.

Important

Microsoft Sentinel solution for SAP® applications uses the new systemconfig.json file for agent versions released on or after June 22, 2023. For previous agent versions, you must still use the systemconfig.ini file.

If you update the agent version, the configuration file is automatically migrated.

timechunk = <value>
# Default timechunk value is 60 (minutes). For certain tables, the data connector retrieves data from the ABAP server using timechunks (collecting all events that occurred within a certain timestamp). On busy systems this may result in large datasets, so to reduce memory and CPU utilization footprint, consider configuring to a smaller value.
