Which Logs Do You Really Need? A Framework for Cost-Conscious Teams
Date: Thu, January 22, 2026
Location: Virtual
As log volumes surge, teams face a false choice between runaway bills and dangerous observability blind spots. While telemetry pipelines provide a solution, your team must still think through the best way to reduce data.
This webinar introduces a practical framework to move beyond ad-hoc log sampling toward deliberate decisions about what to keep at full fidelity, what to optimize, what to move to cheaper storage, and what to drop entirely—without losing the signals you depend on.
Tune in to learn:
- How to classify telemetry sources by usage, risk, and access-time requirements so you can confidently choose between hot, warm, and cold tiers.
- How to apply a clear “keep vs. optimize vs. archive vs. drop” decision model in your telemetry pipeline with concrete examples for different log types.
- How to define ownership, guardrails, and simple review workflows so SRE, security, and finance can safely collaborate on ongoing telemetry cost controls.
