Categories it qualifies for
Facts we checked
- Each index has its own retention period, and Datadog recommends several indexes when different logs need different retention. Exclusion filters can drop or sample logs before they are indexed. Source
- Excluded logs are not indexed, but they still appear in Live Tail and can feed log-based metrics and archives. Source
- A log monitor evaluates only indexed, Standard Tier logs, and its longest rolling time window is 2 days. Source
- Forwarding logs to a custom destination costs $0.25 per GB, per destination, in every billing mode. Source
