If you plan to migrate to a new log management vendor, you need a strategy that lets you maintain visibility into your environment before, during, and after the transition. Organizations face substantial hurdles in preparing historical log data for their next platform due to perceived cost and complexity. Datadog Observability Pipelines provides a smooth migration path by enabling you to archive a copy of your logs in low-cost storage while continuing to send logs to your existing log solution, allowing you to prepare historical logs for later use. This approach helps you maintain uninterrupted observability of your environment during the transition. The pipeline can be easily configured using an Archive Logs to S3 template, which pre-processes logs for both the current vendor and a private Amazon S3 bucket, making it easy to maintain historical logs without disrupting existing workflows. When migrating, rehydrated archived logs can be used in Datadog for search, analysis, or security needs, ensuring continuity of visibility into your environment. Observability Pipelines offers a reliable, cost-efficient way to prepare historical logs before migration and is available for anyone considering a migration to Datadog Log Management.
