  "impact": "The containerized data connector agent is retired on 14 Sep 2026. SAP log collection through it stops on that date, and after that date the agent is permanently disabled and stops sending SAP logs to Microsoft Sentinel. Analytics rules, workbooks, hunting queries and playbooks that rely on this data stop returning results for the affected SAP systems, and customers already using the agentless connector are not affected. Creation of new containerized agents was already disabled when the retirement was announced, and pricing and billing meters do not change.",

[Learn more](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/sentinel/sap/sap-agent-migrate).\n2. Validate log ingestion through the agentless connector.\n3. Decommission the containerized agent.",
