EU data residency for Hosted OpenSearch on Logit.io

EU buyers asking for Hosted OpenSearch with data residency usually mean something precise: indexes and cluster storage should land in a European data centre that lines up with GDPR expectations and the geography named in the DPA — not a US default that security later has to unwind.

Find answers in your logs faster with Datadog's Tap to Parse

Logs are easiest to investigate when the values that matter are already captured as attributes.

Deduplicate logs at the edge: Same insights, a fraction of the volume

Ask a platform team why their observability bill keeps growing and you'll often get a one-sentence answer: And that's usually where it ends. The application teams own the log output, the platform team owns the bill, and nobody has the leverage to change what gets emitted. A single retry loop can print the same error thousands of times a minute. Every one of those lines is ingested, indexed, and stored. You pay for all of them, and they tell you exactly one thing: this error happened, a lot.
