HyperLogging

Event Monitor

HyperLogging enables SecurityBridge to track all actions of a particular account, across all systems of your landscape. HyperLogging (Blog) can be activated automatically as a response to a security-critical event. E.g. when SecurityBridge finds a SAP_ALL assignment it will start recording all actions of the account in focus, during, and after the critical authorization assignment. This enables you to have full and audit compliant insight into all actions executed. In an upcoming major release, a dedicated HyperLogging Fiori app will become available.
