Datadog's Observability Pipelines is a tool that allows users to extract metrics from ingested logs without having to sift through them all, reducing the costs associated with log management. By using this feature, users can generate metrics from their high-volume logs and store only the most important information in cost-effective long-term storage solutions, while still being able to track performance in real-time, analyze trends, and correlate with other infrastructure and application metrics. Additionally, Observability Pipelines can reduce the volume of logs that need to be ingested, stored, and routed, without compromising analytics capabilities or developer efficiency. This allows users to maintain optimal performance, avoid unnecessary egress and network costs, and take advantage of cost-efficient storage solutions as their log volumes scale.
