Optimize your logs with Adaptive Logs
Welcome to the Grafana learning journey that shows you how to use Adaptive Logs to automatically analyze and reduce low-value or noisy log volume. You’ll learn how to review and apply drop-rate recommendations, set exemptions or create segments so teams can manage their log volume safely and independently.
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.
Here’s what to expect
When you complete this journey, you’ll be able to:
- Navigate to Adaptive Logs and understand its interface
- Identify low-value logs that increase volume and cost
- Review, modify, and apply drop-rate recommendations
- Protect important logs with exemptions
- Monitor ingestion volume and query performance improvements
- Validate reductions while preserving essential observability
Before you begin
Before you start, ensure you have:
- A Grafana Cloud account. Refer to Grafana Cloud.
- Logs ingested into Grafana Cloud.
- Basic familiarity with querying and exploring logs in Grafana.
- An understanding of how log volume, query behavior, and patterns affect storage and cost.
