Summary

Organizations often use a variety of platforms for observability and security, such as Datadog Log Management for DevOps and SIEM platforms like Microsoft Sentinel and Google Security Operations for security teams. To streamline processes, many companies aim to standardize log processing to ensure consistent formatting and enrichment. Datadog Log Management offers a solution by centralizing log processing, allowing teams to parse, enrich, and forward logs efficiently. It enables the creation of log pipelines that structure and standardize logs, enrich them with contextual data, and generate metrics for real-time performance tracking. Logs can then be forwarded to platforms like Microsoft Sentinel or Google SecOps, reducing infrastructure overhead and maintaining workflow continuity. This integration allows security teams to focus on threat detection and incident investigation without managing complex infrastructure, while also optimizing security analytics. Organizations can start using Datadog to enhance their log management and security operations with a 14-day free trial or by configuring their existing systems for seamless integration.
