Datadog Logging without Limits* decouples log ingestion and indexing. Choose which logs to index and retain, or archive, and manage settings and controls at a top-level from the log configuration page at Logs > Pipelines.
Note: See PCI DSS Compliance for information on setting up a PCI-compliant Datadog organization.
Set attributes and aliasing to unify your logs environment.
Generate metrics from ingested logs as cost-efficient way to summarize log data from an entire ingested stream.
Institute fine-grained control over your log management budget with log indexes.
Forward ingested logs to your own cloud-hosted storage bucket to keep as an archive for future troubleshooting or compliance audits.
Rehydrate an archive to analyze or investigate log events that are older or excluded from indexing.
Restrict logs data access with restriction queries.
