Summary

Datadog's log management solution addresses the limitations of traditional logging systems by decoupling log ingestion from indexing, allowing users to collect, process, and archive all logs cost-effectively. This approach, known as Logging without Limits™, enables dynamic decisions about which logs to index for troubleshooting and analytics, without the need for server-side filtering that might miss valuable data. Users can archive logs in long-term cloud storage for auditing purposes without additional costs and utilize features like Live Tail for real-time log observation. Datadog allows users to adjust indexing policies instantly to maximize visibility during incidents and control data storage costs, offering an integrated platform for monitoring logs, metrics, and distributed traces.
