Collect SAP BTP logs

Supported in:

This document explains how to ingest SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) logs to Google Security Operations using Google Cloud Storage V2.

SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) is a cloud platform that provides application development, integration, data management, and analytics capabilities. It generates security audit logs, access logs, and service event logs that are critical for monitoring platform activity and detecting security threats. A Cloud Run function polls the SAP BTP Audit Log Retrieval API on a schedule, writes logs to a GCS bucket in NDJSON format, and Google SecOps ingests them through a GCS V2 feed.

Before you begin

Make sure you have the following prerequisites:

  • A Google SecOps instance
  • A GCP project with Cloud Storage API enabled
  • Permissions to create and manage GCS buckets
  • Permissions to manage IAM policies on GCS buckets
  • Permissions to create Cloud Run services, Pub/Sub topics, and Cloud Scheduler jobs
  • Administrator access to SAP BTP with permissions to configure audit log retrieval
  • The SAP BTP Audit Log Retrieval API enabled in your SAP BTP subaccount

Create Google Cloud Storage bucket

  1. Go to the Google Cloud Console .
  2. Select your project or create a new one.
  3. In the navigation menu, go to Cloud Storage > Buckets.
  4. Click Create bucket.
  5. Provide the following configuration details:

    Setting Value
    Name your bucket Enter a globally unique name (for example, sap-btp-logs )
    Location type Choose based on your needs (Region, Dual-region, Multi-region)
    Location Select the location (for example, us-central1 )
    Storage class Standard (recommended for frequently accessed logs)
    Access control Uniform (recommended)
    Protection tools Optional: Enable object versioning or retention policy
  6. Click Create.

Collect SAP BTP API credentials

Enable Audit Log Retrieval API

  1. Sign in to the SAP BTP Cockpit .
  2. Navigate to your subaccount.
  3. Go to Service Marketplace.
  4. Search for Audit Log Retrieval API(technical name: auditlog-api ).
  5. Click Createto create a service instance.
  6. Select the service plan (for example, default ).
  7. Click Create.

Create service key

  1. In the SAP BTP Cockpit, navigate to your Audit Log Retrieval APIservice instance.
  2. Go to the Service Keystab.
  3. Click Create Service Key.
  4. Enter a name (for example, google-secops-integration ).
  5. Click Create.
  6. Copy and save the following details from the service key in a secure location:
    • url: The Audit Log Retrieval API base URL.
    • uaa.url: The OAuth token endpoint URL.
    • uaa.clientid: The OAuth client ID.
    • uaa.clientsecret: The OAuth client secret.

Verify permissions

To verify the account has the required permissions:

  1. Sign in to the SAP BTP Cockpit .
  2. Navigate to your subaccount.
  3. Go to Security > Users.
  4. Verify that the user has the Audit Log Viewerrole collection assigned.
  5. If not, assign the role collection by clicking the user and adding the role.

Test API access

  • Test your credentials before proceeding with the integration:

      # Replace with your actual credentials from the service key 
     UAA_URL 
     = 
     "https://your-subdomain.authentication.region.hana.ondemand.com" 
     CLIENT_ID 
     = 
     "your-client-id" 
     CLIENT_SECRET 
     = 
     "your-client-secret" 
     API_URL 
     = 
     "https://your-api-url.auditlog.cfapps.region.hana.ondemand.com" 
     # Get OAuth token 
     TOKEN 
     = 
     $( 
    curl

    -X  
    POST  
     " 
     ${ 
     UAA_URL 
     }

    -u  
     " 
     ${ 
     CLIENT_ID 
     } 
     : 
     ${ 
     CLIENT_SECRET 
     } 
     " 
      
     \ 
      
    -d  
     "grant_type=client_credentials" 
      
     \ 
      
    -H  
     "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" 
      
     | 
      
    jq  
    -r  
     '.access_token' 
     ) 
     # Test API access 
    curl  
    -v  
    -H  
     "Authorization: Bearer 
     ${ 
     TOKEN 
     } 
     " 
      
     \ 
      
     " 
     ${ 
     API_URL 
     } 
     /auditlog/v2/auditlogrecords? 
     $top

Create Cloud Scheduler job

Cloud Scheduler will publish messages to the Pub/Sub topic at regular intervals, triggering the Cloud Run function.

  1. In the GCP Console, go to Cloud Scheduler.
  2. Click Create Job.
  3. Provide the following configuration details:

    Setting Value
    Name sap-btp-collector-hourly
    Region Select same region as Cloud Run function
    Frequency 0 * * * * (every hour, on the hour)
    Timezone Select timezone (UTC recommended)
    Target type Pub/Sub
    Topic Select the topic sap-btp-trigger
    Message body {} (empty JSON object)
  4. Click Create.

Schedule frequency options

Choose frequency based on log volume and latency requirements:

Frequency Cron Expression Use Case
Every 5 minutes
*/5 * * * * High-volume, low-latency
Every 15 minutes
*/15 * * * * Medium volume
Every hour
0 * * * * Standard (recommended)
Every 6 hours
0 */6 * * * Low volume, batch processing
Daily
0 0 * * * Historical data collection

Test the integration

  1. In the Cloud Schedulerconsole, find your job ( sap-btp-collector-hourly ).
  2. Click Force runto trigger manually.
  3. Wait a few seconds and go to Cloud Run > Services > sap-btp-collector > Logs.
  4. Verify the function executed successfully. Look for:

     Fetching audit logs from YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS+00:00 to YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS+00:00
    Page 1: Retrieved X audit records
    Wrote X records to gs://sap-btp-logs/sap-btp/audit_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.ndjson
    Successfully processed X records 
    
  5. Check the GCS bucket ( sap-btp-logs ) to confirm audit logs were written.

If you see errors in the logs:

  • HTTP 401: Check OAuth credentials in environment variables or token may have expired (function handles refresh automatically)
  • HTTP 403: Verify user has Audit Log Viewer role collection assigned in SAP BTP
  • HTTP 429: Rate limiting - function will automatically retry with backoff
  • Failed to get access token: Verify SAP_UAA_URL , SAP_CLIENT_ID , and SAP_CLIENT_SECRET are correct

Configure a feed in Google SecOps to ingest SAP BTP logs

  1. Go to SIEM Settings > Feeds.
  2. Click Add New Feed.
  3. Click Configure a single feed.
  4. In the Feed namefield, enter a name for the feed (for example, SAP BTP Logs ).
  5. Select Google Cloud Storage V2as the Source type.
  6. Select SAP BTPas the Log type.
  7. Click Get Service Account. A unique service account email will be displayed, for example:

     chronicle-12345678@chronicle-gcp-prod.iam.gserviceaccount.com 
    
  8. Copy this email address. You will use it in the next step.

  9. Click Next.

  10. Specify values for the following input parameters:

    • Storage bucket URL: Enter the GCS bucket URI with the prefix path:

       gs://sap-btp-logs/sap-btp/ 
      
      • Replace:
        • sap-btp-logs : Your GCS bucket name.
        • sap-btp/ : Prefix/folder path where logs are stored.
    • Source deletion option: Select the deletion option according to your preference:

      • Never: Never deletes any files after transfers (recommended for testing).
      • Delete transferred files: Deletes files after successful transfer.
      • Delete transferred files and empty directories: Deletes files and empty directories after successful transfer.

    • Maximum File Age: Include files modified in the last number of days (default is 180 days).

    • Asset namespace: The asset namespace .

    • Ingestion labels: The label to be applied to the events from this feed.

  11. Click Next.

  12. Review your new feed configuration in the Finalizescreen, and then click Submit.

The Google SecOps service account needs Storage Object Viewerrole on your GCS bucket.

  1. Go to Cloud Storage > Buckets.
  2. Click your bucket name ( sap-btp-logs ).
  3. Go to the Permissionstab.
  4. Click Grant access.
  5. Provide the following configuration details:
    • Add principals: Paste the Google SecOps service account email.
    • Assign roles: Select Storage Object Viewer.
  6. Click Save.
