abap-log-exporter
Exports SAP NetWeaver logs from the Business Application Log to an external log system such as Graylog or Loki, converting entries to GELF or Loki format through a separately configured reader, converter and connector.
Exports SAP Netweaver logs to a log system of your choice, reading from the Business Application Log and converting entries into GELF or Loki format before sending them on. Each stage, reader, converter and connector, is configured separately through transaction ZALE_CONFIG, so a scenario can mix a BAL reader with a Loki connector. Reading from SM21 and SMICM is listed as open work rather than shipped.

customizing
Different scenarios can be customized via transaction ZALE_CONFIG. This are the fields for each sceanrio
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| reader class | class for the reader component |
| converter class | class for the converter component |
| connector url | URL to the log tool e.g. GrayLog |
| connector class | class for the connector component |
local tests
⚠️ instead of localhost the URLs have to be customized with the IP of the Ethernet Adapter
