Datadog Archive Search, now available in preview, addresses the challenges organizations face with accessing historical log data stored in separate systems by allowing in-place searches across archived logs without the need for costly and time-consuming rehydration. This feature helps teams conduct faster audits and investigations by providing direct access to archived data stored in Flex Frozen or customer-owned cloud storage, such as Amazon S3, using the familiar Datadog query language and interface. It supports cross-telemetry analysis and enhances organizational visibility, enabling teams to correlate archived logs with other data sources, such as RUM events and metrics, without switching tools. The integration with Datadog Log Workspaces and Observability Pipelines ensures that log data remains fully searchable, audit-ready, and cost-effective by allowing transformation and routing of logs to different storage destinations. This approach reduces operational overhead and supports compliance and performance monitoring, providing an end-to-end workflow that enhances control and visibility over log data.
