Summary

Datadog Observability Pipelines provides an on-prem solution to automatically redact sensitive information from your logs in an infrastructure-agnostic manner. This allows businesses to protect confidentiality and comply with applicable data protection laws, such as GDPR, while shipping logs to destinations outside of their infrastructure. The platform offers 70 out-of-the-box scanning rules that detect and redact standard patterns like credit card numbers, email addresses, IP addresses, API keys, SSH keys, and access tokens. Businesses can also create custom rules using regular expressions to identify unique patterns not covered by the OOTB rules, ensuring compliance with data privacy laws in highly regulated industries. By applying these rules, businesses can safely ship redacted logs to external destinations, avoiding substantial fines and damage to their reputation as responsible stewards of customer data.
