Shape your log data

After creating, monitoring, and adjusting budgets for your log data, you can use tools in Chronosphere Observability Platform to transform, reshape, retain, or exclude data. Managing the data you persist can reduce your overall consumption, provide predictability in generated log data, and result in more performant queries when searching through logs.

To create structured logs from plaintext logs, and parse individual fields to extract meaningful data without changing your instrumentation, use parsing.

To drop entire logs, drop individual fields, or sample a percentage of your log data, create control rules. Use these rules to act on your log data and make decisions before persisting the data to the database.
