Summary

Rehydration for Observability Pipelines is a newly available feature that allows organizations to efficiently manage and access archived log data from storage solutions like Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure Blob Storage. By enabling the retrieval and replay of these logs through existing observability pipelines, Rehydration maintains the same parsing, enrichment, and routing logic used for live data, ensuring consistent formatting and context. This feature is particularly useful for security, network, and DevOps teams, as it helps them conduct investigations, audits, and testing by pulling specific time frames of archived logs without manual intervention. By using pre-configured Packs, teams can filter and manage log data effectively, balancing the need for full data visibility against storage costs. Rehydration thus offers an automated, on-demand solution for accessing historical data, supporting both performance investigations and compliance requirements, while eliminating the need for scripts or manual file handling.
