Monitor and validate results

After reviewing and applying recommendations, or using other customization options, you can now verify that your setup is delivering the results you expect.

Use the overview dashboard for a quick, visual summary of how your applied drop rates and exemptions are reducing log volume.

To validate results, complete the following steps.

To access the overview dashboard, navigate to Adaptive Telemetry > Adaptive Logs > Overview.

You can adjust the time range using the time picker in the upper-right corner of the dashboard to analyze recent behavior or investigate longer-term trends. Changing the time range helps you compare activity before and after deployments, configuration changes, or incidents.

Dropped log volume

This panel shows the percentage of incoming log data that Adaptive Logs is dropping during the selected time range.

Use this panel to:

• Understand the overall effectiveness of Adaptive Logs in reducing log lines
• Identify unexpected increases or decreases in dropped volume
• Verify that Adaptive Logs is actively filtering log noise

A consistently high dropped percentage indicates that repetitive or low-value logs are being successfully removed. Sudden changes may indicate upstream logging changes or configuration updates.

Total dropped

This panel displays the total volume of log data that has been dropped over the selected time range.

Use this panel to:

• Quantify the absolute volume of data being removed
• Estimate cost savings from reduced log ingestion
• Compare dropped volume across different time windows

Large increases often correspond to periods of high log repetition or bursts in log generation.

Total received

This panel shows the total volume of log data received by Adaptive Logs before any dropping occurs.

Use this panel to:

• Understand how much raw log data your systems are producing
• Detect spikes or drops in log generation
• Correlate changes in received volume with deployments or incidents

This represents the baseline input that Adaptive Logs is analyzing.

Volume rates

This graph shows the rate of log data per second, split into:

• Received log volume
• Dropped log volume

Use this panel to:

• Compare incoming versus dropped log rates over time
• Visualize how Adaptive Logs reacts to changes in log traffic
• Identify sustained periods of high drop activity or sudden shifts in volume

The difference between received and dropped rates represents the log data that is retained.

In the next milestone, you’ll reach your journey conclusion.
