Implementing Custom Audit Logging in SAP CAP Applications
Where the annotations stop. CAP logs personal-data operations automatically once a model is annotated; this is about the events that are not that — an unauthorised access attempt, a business action somebody wants a trail for — and what writing those yourself involves.
Where it sits
Explains
Audit loggingCAPAudit loggingRecording who touched personal or sensitive data, in a form an auditor accepts, without hand-writing it in every handler. It is often confused with application logging, which records what the code did rather than who accessed what.@cap-js/audit-loggingCAP@cap-js/audit-loggingIntegration with the [SAP Audit Log service](artifact:btp-audit-log), so operations on personal data are recorded in the form an auditor expects without the application writing the entries.

CAP: The Road Ahead - Simplicity in an AI EraCAP: The Road Ahead - Simplicity in an AI EraDevtoberfest 2026 session CAP10, from the head of SAP's Cloud Application Programming Model: forty minutes of live building rather than slides, on the argument that the cheapest code in an AI project is code nobody has to generate. Claude Code builds an invoice-matching workspace from cds init onwards, and each step is one the framework answers rather than the agent: a 42-line domain model that @sap/cds serves as OData and Fiori elements with a status flow, data privacy and change-tracking annotations that produce audit log entries in the console and would reach the SAP Audit Log service once deployed, an imported S/4HANA supplier data product, and semantic matching from a local embedding model after @cap-js/ai is added. The last three steps are annotations: @mcp beside @odata turns the service into an MCP server that a second Claude session queries through @cap-js/mcp, an agent annotation adds the A2A protocol with an agent card and an audit log entry for the agent task, and a skill file gives the agent the matching policy.SAP Developers, published 2026-09-25
BTP Audit Log MCP Server: Security Monitoring with AI AssistantsBTP Audit Log MCP Server: Security Monitoring with AI AssistantsWouter Lemaire builds an MCP server over SAP BTP's Audit Log Retrieval API using odata-mcp-proxy, with a single entity set and zero custom code, so an AI assistant can answer natural-language questions like "Were there any configuration changes yesterday?" by calling AuditLogRecords_list against a BTP destination authenticated with the Audit Log service's service key. It covers the destination setup, the entity-set configuration that maps the PascalCase entity name to a lowercase auditlogrecords path, and handling the API's 500-record pagination limit.published 2026-03-13

Nice patch SAP! Revisiting your SAP BTP security measures after AI Core vulnerability fixNice patch SAP! Revisiting your SAP BTP security measures after AI Core vulnerability fixWritten after the SAPwned disclosure in SAP AI Core, it argues SAP BTP's shared-responsibility model still requires the customer's own hardening: scope SAP BTP, Cloud Foundry Runtime and SAP BTP, Kyma runtime app access, rotate OAuth2 client-credentials secrets, and enforce MFA and Conditional Access through a corporate identity provider rather than relying on SAP's patch alone. It then explains how the SAP Audit Log service writes standardized events for most Cloud Foundry BTP services, and walks through onboarding a BTP subaccount into Microsoft Sentinel for SAP BTP to query those logs with Kusto and build detection rules that flag unexpected login countries or known-bad IPs and trigger automatic user blocks.published 2024-07-25
SAP BTP Audit log Enable and retrieve logsSAP BTP Audit log Enable and retrieve logsWalks through enabling and retrieving records from the SAP Audit Log service on SAP BTP's Cloud Foundry environment: the default oAuth2 service plan retains audit data for 90 days at no cost, while the premium plan adds a configurable retention period and lets an application write its own audit data. Covers the three subscription plans (premium, default for a subaccount, central for a global account) and the CLI steps to create a service instance and key, then retrieve records as JSON through the Auditlog Management Service's REST API using an OAuth2 client-credentials token in Postman.anikesh_jyotishi2, published 2024-07-12
Integrate SAP Business Technology Platform audit logs with IBM Security QRadarIntegrate SAP Business Technology Platform audit logs with IBM Security QRadarWalks through pulling entries from the SAP Audit Log service for a Cloud Foundry subaccount, via its retrieval API and a service key downloaded from the SAP Authorization and Trust Management service, into IBM Security QRadar as a Universal Cloud REST API log source. A sample audit event, a data read event under audit.data-access, drives a custom QRadar DSM mapping event ID and category, then the walkthrough deletes a user from a Kyma role collection and shows the matching audit logging entry arrive in QRadar as an offense.TusharTrivedi12, published 2024-01-03
Introducing the Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP)Introducing the Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP)SAP's own general-availability announcement for CAP, laid out as a Golden Path: a data model and service defined in CDS gets a generated service provider that serves metadata publishing and CRUD requests, fills in primary keys and audit data, and writes trace and audit logs without application code. The same CDS model carries annotations that translate to OData vocabularies and generate a Fiori elements app skeleton, which is how Fiori annotations work in CAP.Daniel7, published 2018-06-05
