Content in this article is intended for your SAP BASIS teams.

Secret storage location

Parameter name: --keymode

Parameter values: kvmi, kvsi, cfgf

Required: No. kvmi is assumed by default.

Description: Specifies whether secrets (username, password, log analytics ID, and shared key) should be stored in local configuration file, or in Azure Key Vault. Also controls whether authentication to Azure Key Vault is done using the VM's Azure system-assigned managed identity or a Microsoft Entra registered-application identity.

If set to kvmi, Azure Key Vault is used to store secrets, and authentication to Azure Key Vault is done using the virtual machine's Azure system-assigned managed identity.

If set to kvsi, Azure Key Vault is used to store secrets, and authentication to Azure Key Vault is done using a Microsoft Entra registered-application identity. Usage of kvsi mode requires --appid, --appsecret, and --tenantid values.

If set to cfgf, the configuration file stored locally is used to store secrets.

ABAP server connection mode

Parameter name: --connectionmode

Parameter values: abap, mserv

Description: Defines whether the data collector agent should connect to the ABAP server directly, or through a message server. Use abap to have the agent connect directly to the ABAP server, whose name you can define using the --abapserver parameter. If you don't define the name ahead of time, the script prompts you for it. Use mserv to connect through a message server, in which case you must specify the --messageserverhost, --messageserverport, and --logongroup parameters.
