Select SAP ingestion profile

This article explains how to select the profile for your SAP solution. We recommend that you select an ingestion profile that maximizes your security coverage while meeting your budget requirements.

Because SAP is a business application, and business processes tend to be seasonal, it may be difficult to predict the overall volume of logs over time. To address this issue, we recommend that you keep all logs on for two weeks, and learn from the observed activity. This learning can later be revised during business activity peaks, or major landscape transformations.

The following sections show typical customer configuration profiles for SAP log ingestion.

Default profile (recommended)

This profile includes complete coverage for:

• Built-in analytics
• The SAP user authorization master data tables, with users and privilege information
• The ability to track changes and activities on the SAP landscape. This profile provides more logging information to allow for post-breach investigations and extended hunting abilities.

Detection focused profile

This profile includes the core security logs of the SAP landscape required for the most of the analytics rules to perform well. Post-breach investigations and hunting capabilities are limited.

Minimal profile

The SAP Security Audit Log is the most important source of data the Microsoft Sentinel solution for SAP® applications uses to analyze activities on the SAP landscape. Enabling this log is the minimal requirement to provide any security coverage.
