Telemetry (Observability) pipelines play a critical role in controlling telemetry data (logs, metrics, events, and traces). However, the benefits of pipeline go well beyond log volume and cost reductions. In addition to using pipelines as pre-processors of data going to observability and SIEM systems, they can be used to support your compliance initiatives. This session will cover how enterprises can understand and optimize their data for log reduction while reducing compliance risk.
