The third and last SAP Tech Bytes related to the SAP Audit Log service was published today. In this blog post, I will share the details on what is covered in today’s video – Store audit log entries in the Object Store using SAP Cloud Integration.
In this SAP Tech Bytes, we will continue to explore the SAP Audit Log service. In this instance, we will extend the integration flow previously created in SAP Cloud Integration to store the data retrieved from the Audit Log Retrieval API in an Object Store. For this, we first create an instance of AWS S3 in Open Connectors, deploy some new credentials and then proceed to create the connection from SAP Cloud Integration to our new Open Connectors instance. Once everything is setup, we will test our integration flow and check the files created in the Object Store.

The SAP Audit Log service is a platform service which stores all the audit logs written on your behalf by other platform services that you use. It allows you to retrieve the audit logs for your subaccount via the audit log retrieval API or view them using the Audit Log Viewer. The SAP Audit Log service only stores audit log entries written by SAP BTP services, when taking action over your account data. As a developer, the custom applications/services (non-SAP), that you deploy to SAP BTP, do not have write access to the Audit Log Service.
