Since most observability and security data has long-term value for compliance, historical analysis, unforeseen investigations, and customer experience assessments, retaining it is crucial. However, storing this data within analytics tools can be expensive. To address this challenge, a solution for extended data retention without exceeding budget limitations is essential.
The Kron Telemetry Pipeline offers a compelling solution. It enables you to write complete data sets to S3-compatible object storage systems, ensuring cost-effective storage. This approach allows for on-demand rehydration of specific data portions into your analysis tools whenever needed.
Low Cost Data Storing
The high cost of storing data for analysis applications presents a challenge for SRE/DevOps teams. The Kron Telemetry Pipeline offers an opportunity to address this issue effectively.
By selectively directing only essential data to analysis applications and storing the raw data in S3-compatible object storage, teams can significantly reduce storage costs. This approach allows for on-demand retrieval of specific data subsets from object storage for further investigation. The retrieved data can then be seamlessly integrated with analytical tools for indexing and analysis.
Storage Tiering
Storage tiering for observability data optimizes management by integrating with the telemetry pipeline to dynamically separate data as it flows. High-priority, time-sensitive data is stored in high-performance systems for immediate analysis, while less critical data is routed to cost-effective storage. This approach not only reduces costs but also aligns data accessibility with operational needs, enhancing efficiency in data handling
Ad-hoc Rehydration
By using key prefixes, logs from a specific application on a designated host at a chosen time can be retrieved from object storage. These logs are then rehydrated into the pipeline, transformed, and written to the specified destination.
Rehydrate with API
Integration with analytical tools can facilitate data access through API requests. When these tools require data from object storage, API requests can be used to replay and redirect the data back to the tools as needed.
In conclusion, the Kron Telemetry Pipeline provides a robust and cost-efficient strategy for managing observability and security data crucial for compliance, historical analysis, unforeseen investigations, and assessing customer experiences. By harnessing the power of S3-compatible object storage, the pipeline not only ensures extended data retention within budgetary constraints but also enhances data accessibility and management through features like on-demand rehydration and API-driven data retrieval. This innovative approach allows SRE/DevOps teams to store vast amounts of data economically, retrieve specific subsets as needed, and integrate seamlessly with analytical tools for deeper insights.
