Adaptive Logs

Adaptive Logs is a log optimization tool in Grafana Cloud that helps you reduce log volume and costs, so you can focus on the insights that matter.

Overview

Adaptive Logs tackles the challenges of high log volume and cost, automating the identification and removal of low-value logs that are rarely or never used. This helps reduce ingest costs, improve query performance, and simplify log management without sacrificing valuable observability data. By focusing on logs that truly matter, Adaptive Logs enables you to streamline your observability workflows and gain insights more efficiently.

Why use Adaptive Logs?

Automates the identification and removal of unnecessary logs before they are ingested
Provides a set of recommendations, as well as an intuitive user interface to review, modify and accept these recommendations
Enables you to customize which logs are dropped by creating service overrides or exemptions
