Microsoft Sentinel solution for SAP® applications: security content reference
This article details the security content available for the Microsoft Sentinel Solution for SAP.
Important
While the Microsoft Sentinel solution for SAP® applications is in GA, some specific components remain in PREVIEW. This article indicates the components that are in preview in the relevant sections below. The Azure Preview Supplemental Terms include additional legal terms that apply to Azure features that are in beta, preview, or otherwise not yet released into general availability.
Available security content includes built-in workbooks and analytics rules. You can also add SAP-related watchlists to use in your search, detection rules, threat hunting, and response playbooks.
Built-in workbooks
Use the following built-in workbooks to visualize and monitor data ingested via the SAP data connector. After you deploy the SAP solution, you can find SAP workbooks in the My workbooks tab.
| Workbook name | Description | Logs |
|---|---|---|
| SAP - Audit Log Browser | Displays data such as: - General system health, including user sign-ins over time, events ingested by the system, message classes and IDs, and ABAP programs run -Severities of events occurring in your system - Authentication and authorization events occurring in your system |
Uses data from the following log: ABAPAuditLog_CL |
| SAP Audit Controls | Helps you check your SAP environment's security controls for compliance with your chosen control framework, using tools for you to do the following: - Assign analytics rules in your environment to specific security controls and control families - Monitor and categorize the incidents generated by the SAP solution-based analytics rules - Report on your compliance |
Uses data from the following tables: - SecurityAlert- SecurityIncident |

Built-in analytics rules
Monitoring the configuration of static SAP security parameters (Preview)
To secure the SAP system, SAP has identified security-related parameters that need to be monitored for changes. With the "SAP - (Preview) Sensitive Static Parameter has Changed" rule, the Microsoft Sentinel solution for SAP® applications tracks over 52 static security-related parameters in the SAP system, which are built into Microsoft Sentinel.
Note
For the Microsoft Sentinel solution for SAP® applications to successfully monitor the SAP security parameters, the solution needs to successfully monitor the SAP PAHI table at regular intervals. Verify that the solution can successfully monitor the PAHI table.
To understand parameter changes in the system, the Microsoft Sentinel solution for SAP® applications uses the parameter history table, which records changes made to system parameters every hour.
The parameters are also reflected in the SAPSystemParameters watchlist. This watchlist allows users to add new parameters, disable existing parameters, and modify the values and severities per parameter and system role in production or non-production environments.
When a change is made to one of these parameters, Microsoft Sentinel checks to see if the change is security-related and if the value is set according to the recommended values. If the change is suspected as outside the safe zone, Microsoft Sentinel creates an incident detailing the change, and identifies who made the change.
Review the list of parameters that this rule monitors.
Monitoring the SAP audit log
The SAP Audit log data is used across many of the analytics rules of the Microsoft Sentinel solution for SAP® applications. Some analytics rules look for specific events on the log, while others correlate indications from several logs to produce high fidelity alerts and incidents.
In addition, there are two analytics rules which are designed to accommodate the entire set of standard SAP audit log events (183 different events), and any other custom events you may choose to log using the SAP audit log.
Both SAP audit log monitoring analytics rules share the same data sources and the same configuration but differ in one critical aspect. While the "SAP - Dynamic Deterministic Audit Log Monitor" rule requires deterministic alert thresholds and user exclusion rules, the "SAP - Dynamic Anomaly-based Audit Log Monitor Alerts (PREVIEW)" rule applies additional machine learning algorithms to filter out background noise in an unsupervised manner. For this reason, by default, most event types (or SAP message IDs) of the SAP audit log are being sent to the "Anomaly based" analytics rule, while the easier to define event types are sent to the deterministic analytics rule. This setting, along with other related settings, can be further configured to suit any system conditions.
SAP - Dynamic Deterministic Audit Log Monitor
A dynamic analytics rule that is intended for covering the entire set of SAP audit log event types which have a deterministic definition in terms of user population, event thresholds.
- Configure the rule with the SAP_Dynamic_Audit_Log_Monitor_Configuration watchlist
- Learn more about how to configure the rule (full procedure)
SAP - Dynamic Anomaly based Audit Log Monitor Alerts (PREVIEW)
A dynamic analytics rule designed to learn normal system behavior, and alert on activities observed on the SAP audit log that are considered anomalous. Apply this rule on the SAP audit log event types which are harder to define in terms of user population, network attributes and thresholds.
Learn more:
- Configure the rule with the SAP_Dynamic_Audit_Log_Monitor_Configuration and SAP_User_Config watchlists
- Learn more about how to configure the rule (full procedure)

If you don't want to receive alerts for a parameter, set EnableAlerts to false.- ParameterName: The name of the parameter. - Comment: The SAP standard parameter description. - EnableAlerts: Defines whether to enable alerts for this parameter. Values are true and false.- Option: Defines in which case to trigger an alert: If the parameter value is greater or equal ( GE), less or equal (LE), or equal (EQ).For example, if the login/fails_to_user_lock SAP parameter is set to LE (less or equal), and a value of 5, once Microsoft Sentinel detects a change to this specific parameter, it compares the newly reported value and the expected value. If the new value is 4, Microsoft Sentinel doesn't trigger an alert. If the new value is 6, Microsoft Sentinel triggers an alert.- ProductionSeverity: The incident severity for production systems. - ProductionValues: Permitted values for production systems. - NonProdSeverity: The incident severity for non-production systems. - NonProdValues: Permitted values for non-production systems. |

| SAP_Dynamic_Audit_Log_Monitor_Configuration | Configure the SAP audit log alerts by assigning each message ID a severity level as required by you, per system role (production, non-production). This watchlist details all available SAP standard audit log message IDs. The watchlist can be extended to contain additional message IDs you might create on your own using ABAP enhancements on their SAP NetWeaver systems. This watchlist also allows for configuring a designated team to handle each of the event types, and excluding users by SAP roles, SAP profiles or by tags from the SAP_User_Config watchlist. This watchlist is one of the core components used for configuring the built-in SAP analytics rules for monitoring the SAP audit log. - MessageID: The SAP Message ID, or event type, such as AUD (User master record changes), or AUB (authorization changes). - DetailedDescription: A markdown enabled description to be shown on the incident pane. - ProductionSeverity: The desired severity for the incident to be created with for production systems High, Medium. Can be set as Disabled. - NonProdSeverity: The desired severity for the incident to be created with for non-production systems High, Medium. Can be set as Disabled. - ProductionThreshold The "Per hour" count of events to be considered as suspicious for production systems 60. - NonProdThreshold The "Per hour" count of events to be considered as suspicious for non-production systems 10. - RolesTagsToExclude: This field accepts SAP role name, SAP profile names or tags from the SAP_User_Config watchlist. These are then used to exclude the associated users from specific event types. See options for role tags at the end of this list. - RuleType: Use Deterministic for the event type to be sent off to the SAP - Dynamic Deterministic Audit Log Monitor, or AnomaliesOnly to have this event covered by the SAP - Dynamic Anomaly based Audit Log Monitor Alerts (PREVIEW).- TeamsChannelID: an optional dynamic parameter for use in playbooks. - DestinationEmail: an optional dynamic parameter for use in playbooks. For the RolesTagsToExclude field: - If you list SAP roles or SAP profiles, this excludes any user with the listed roles or profiles from these event types for the same SAP system. For example, if you define the BASIC_BO_USERS ABAP role for the RFC related event types, Business Objects users won't trigger incidents when making massive RFC calls.- Tagging an event type is similar to specifying SAP roles or profiles, but tags can be created in the workspace, so SOC teams can exclude users by activity without depending on the SAP team. For example, the audit message IDs AUB (authorization changes) and AUD (user master record changes) are assigned the MassiveAuthChanges tag. Users assigned this tag are excluded from the checks for these activities. Running the workspace SAPAuditLogConfigRecommend function produces a list of recommended tags to be assigned to users, such as Add the tags ["GenericTablebyRFCOK"] to user SENTINEL_SRV using the SAP_User_Config watchlist. |
| SAP_User_Config | Allows for fine tuning alerts by excluding /including users in specific contexts and is also used for configuring the built-in SAP analytics rules for monitoring the SAP audit log. - SAPUser: The SAP user - Tags: Tags are used to identify users against certain activity. For example Adding the tags ["GenericTablebyRFCOK"] to user SENTINEL_SRV will prevent RFC related incidents to be created for this specific user Other active directory user identifiers - AD User Identifier - User On-Premises Sid - User Principal Name |
