Overview
The SAP S/4HANA Cloud – Public Edition Audit Log Input collects system audit events from the SAP Audit Log Service, providing visibility into security-relevant activities across your cloud tenant. These logs capture authentication attempts, user activity, and internal system events, supporting security monitoring, forensic analysis, and compliance reporting.
This input is particularly valuable for tracking user logons, identifying support or system access, and correlating activity across time, systems, and users. By normalizing and enriching the logs, the data becomes ready for integration with the target SIEM or observability platform.
