# Microsoft Sentinel: containerized SAP data connector agent retirement

Retirement date for the containerized data connector agent for the Microsoft Sentinel solution for SAP applications: 14 Sep 2026. After that date the agent is permanently disabled and stops sending SAP logs to Microsoft Sentinel.

- Effective date: 14 Sep 2026
- Cloud: [Azure](https://eolwatch.dev/cloud/azure.md)
- Service: [Microsoft Sentinel](https://eolwatch.dev/services/azure/sentinel.md)
- Type: Retirement
- Category: [API or SDK](https://eolwatch.dev/categories/apis-sdks.md)
- Replacement: SAP agentless data connector
- Announced: 12 Aug 2026
- Official source: [azure.microsoft.com](https://azure.microsoft.com/updates?id=568457)
- Last checked: 12 Nov 2026

## What breaks

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.

## What to do

1. Migrate to the SAP agentless data connector before 14 Sep 2026. Start by deploying it alongside your existing containerized agent. [Learn more](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/sentinel/sap/sap-agent-migrate).
2. Validate log ingestion through the agentless connector.
3. Decommission the containerized agent.

## Replacement

SAP agentless data connector
