Log ingestion: you are probably paying to store logs you will never read

Sep 9, 2026 By Pierre Fersing In Bleemeo
The default way to adopt log management is to ship everything and search it later. It is the path every vendor’s quickstart puts you on, and it is the reason log bills surprise people: ingestion is priced by volume, so“ship everything” is a spending decision disguised as a configuration default. The uncomfortable part is that most of that volume is never read. Nobody greps last Tuesday’s 200 OK access lines.

UK data residency for Hosted OpenSearch on Logit.io

Sep 9, 2026 By Logit.io Team In Logit.io
Procurement teams asking for UK-hosted OpenSearch usually mean something concrete: indexes and cluster storage should land in a UK data centre, not wherever a vendor’s default region happens to be. On Logit.io that choice is an account-level data storage region, not a free toggle on every stack. Get the first stack right and every later OpenSearch or log stack in that account follows. Get it wrong after go-live and you are looking at a second account, not a silent migrate button.

How to extract structured fields from unstructured logs

Sep 8, 2026 By Margaret Selid In Sumo Logic
If you’ve spent any time digging for insights in logs, you know the shape of the problem. A single log line might contain an IP address, a status code, a response time, and a user ID, but it’s all buried in one long, unstructured string. You know the information is there. Getting it into a field you can filter, group, or chart on is a different matter.

Log Filtering: How to Cut Log Ingest Volume Without Losing Evidence

Sep 7, 2026 By Ramya Shah In Motadata
Every log estate reaches a point where volume grows faster than the value inside it. The usual response is to find the biggest source and drop it. Cutting volume is the easy part. Cutting the right half takes judgment. Log filtering is only one of four options for an expensive source, and the other three matter just as much. In this blog, you will: By the end you can defend every rule you write, including the ones that keep data. A volume cut fails in two directions.

The pager shouldn't be what starts the investigation

Sep 3, 2026 By Mezmo In Mezmo
Authored by Greg Janco, Engineering Manager at Mezmo I've always thought there was something backwards about incident response. An alert fires at 3 a.m. PagerDuty does its job. Somebody wakes up, grabs a laptop, connects to the VPN, opens the alert, and then starts answering the same basic questions we ask at the beginning of almost every incident. What changed? What else is broken? Have we seen this before? Some of those need a human eventually. A lot of the first pass doesn't.

Automate Product Analytics reports with your agent and the CX CLI

Sep 3, 2026 By Coralogix Team In Coralogix
Every page view, click, and session your RUM SDK captures lands in Coralogix as a log event under the cx_rum subsystem — the raw data behind how people actually use your product. You can turn it into a shareable report without writing a single query. Just ask your coding agent. Your agent queries that data through the CX CLI and writes the report for you: describe what you want in plain English, get a formatted report back — without leaving the terminal.

6 Signs a Dedicated Log Tool Fits Better Than a Full Observability Platform

Sep 2, 2026 By Papertrail Team In SolarWinds
Most growing teams eventually consolidate onto a full observability platform, and for teams correlating logs, metrics, and traces across a complex system, that’s often the right call. But a dedicated log tool still wins for a specific set of teams: ones that need to move fast, keep costs simple, and get real answers from logs without carrying the weight of a platform they don’t fully need yet. Here’s when that’s you.
