Create segments for teams

As organizations grow, you can use segmentation to manage Adaptive Logs per team, service, department, or system.

To create a new segment, complete the following steps.

1. Select the Segments tab.

2. Click Add new segment.

3. Enter a descriptive name that clearly identifies the team this segment applies to.

4. Select the log stream label that distinguishes the metrics belonging to a particular team (for example, namespace in Kubernetes).

5. Enter the values that match the label you specified (for example, web-frontend, web-backend). Each value can only be used once across segments.

6. (Optional) Select Fallback to default pattern configuration to apply default drop rates to log streams outside any segment.

7. Click Add.

Set a per-segment drop rate for multiple patterns

Use per-segment drop rate overrides to apply drop rates to patterns for specific segments.

1. Select the segment you want to set drop rates for.

2. Select the patterns for that particular segment.

3. Click Bulk edit service drop rates.

4. Enter the percentage drop rate you want to set for the segment. The projected savings after you apply changes is displayed.

5. Click Apply.

Set per-segment drop rates within a specific pattern

To create drop rates for multiple segments producing logs with the same pattern, complete the following steps.

1. On the Pattern tab, expand a pattern.

2. Review which services are producing logs with that pattern.

3. Click the Edit icon to edit drop rates.

4. Enter the percentage drop rate you want to add for each service. The projected savings after you apply changes is displayed.

5. Click Apply.

In the next milestone, you’ll learn how to monitor and validate that your configuration is delivering the expected results.
