Map, Transform, Filter: How Copilot Editor Helps Teams (and Their Pipelines) Have It All

Ever spent a week wrangling log pipelines just to get your SIEM to stop screaming about missing fields? Wasted way too much time stripping out noisy events and reformatting data for analytics? You’re not the only one.
