Microsoft Sentinel solution for SAP applications systemconfig.ini file reference
The systemconfig.ini file is the legacy file used to configure the behavior of the Microsoft Sentinel for SAP applications data connector agent in versions earlier than June 22, 2023. This article describes the options available in each section of the configuration file.
Content in this article is intended for your SAP BASIS teams. This article is not relevant if you've used the recommended deployment procedure from the portal. If you've installed a newer version of the agent from the command line, use the Microsoft Sentinel solution for SAP applications systemconfig.json file reference instead.
Systemconfig configuration file sections
The following table describes each overall section in the systemconfig.ini file:
| Section name | Description |
|---|---|
| ABAP central instance | This section defines general options of the SAP instance to connect to. |
| ABAP table selector | This section defines which user master data logs get extracted from the ABAP system. |
| Azure credentials | This section defines credentials to connect to Azure Log Analytics. |
| Connector configuration | This section defines miscellaneous connector options. |
| File extraction ABAP | This section defines logs and credentials that are extracted from ABAP server using SAPControl interface. |
| File extraction JAVA | This section defines logs and credentials that are extracted from JAVA server using SAPControl interface. |
| Logs activation status | This section defines which logs are extracted from ABAP. |
| Secrets source | This section defines where credentials are stored. |

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.
