Make exemptions in Adaptive logs

You may want to prevent certain logs from being dropped even if they are not being queried heavily. Adaptive Logs supports stream-based exemptions, which let you exclude certain logs from being dropped.

Exemptions are based on stream selectors, and can be configured via a support ticket.

As an example, suppose you do not want to drop logs related to your login service. You can prevent logs from being dropped by your login service by excluding the {service="login"} selector.

It may take up to fifteen days for an exempted pattern to disappear from the Adaptive Logs user interface, but any attempts to apply recommendations to an exempted pattern has no effect and logs matching an exempted pattern are not dropped.
