Detection logic
Fires when at least one $e event in the 1h window.
Events
$e
metadata.log_type = "SAP_SECURITY_AUDIT"additional.fields["msg_1"] matches "^AUE$|^AUF$|^AUI$|^AUJ$|^FU0$|^E05$"principal.user.userid in "%sap_admin_users.user"
Correlation
Outcome
Fields the detection emits on a match. $risk_score drives alerting; Chronicle surfaces the rest on the detection.
