Adaptive Logs in Grafana Cloud has introduced new features to help users optimize log volumes and costs more effectively while maintaining flexibility and control. These enhancements include the ability to temporarily pause Adaptive Logs to retain full log access during critical incidents or updates, as well as permanent exemptions for certain logs necessary for compliance or audit purposes. Users can now apply per-service drop rates to manage log ingestion with greater precision, allowing organizations to balance optimization with the specific needs of different services and teams. These features are designed to give observability teams confidence in managing their logs without sacrificing important data, and they are available in public preview for all Grafana Cloud customers.
