Reduce Monitoring Costs: How to Identify and Filter Unneeded Telemetry Data

To understand what’s going on in their environment, DevOps teams usually ship some combination of logs, metrics and traces—depending on which signals they’re hoping to monitor. Each data type will expose different information about what is happening in a system. However, not all of that information will be helpful on a day-to-day basis, which can rack up unnecessary data storage costs. That should require users start to filter telemetry data across their observability stacks.

How to categorize logs for more effective monitoring

Logs provide a wealth of information that is invaluable for use cases like root cause analysis and audits. However, you typically don’t need to view the granular details of every log, particularly in dynamic environments that generate large volumes of them. Instead, it’s generally more useful to perform analytics on your logs in aggregate.
