To take control of your telemetry data, Chronosphere Observability Platform provides
multiple tools you can use to identify and eliminate data that isn’t used and doesn’t
deliver value to your business.
Use the Chronosphere Control Plane to reduce the amount of data retained in your
system over time. Create shaping rules to drop data before it reaches Observability
Platform, aggregate and rewrite data into more manageable and usable statistics, and
alias expressions to improve data queries and references.
Shape metric data
Use the Chronosphere Control Plane to shape your metric data
and reduce the amount of data you persist. Manage your telemetry data with tools that
help you shape that traffic, such as creating drop rules, quotas, and aggregation
rules.
Sample trace data
Create trace datasets that map tracing
license consumption to relevant business units in your organization. Datasets let you
track and measure trace data usage over time before you implement proactive sampling
strategies, whereas head and tail sampling alone require you to measure and implement
together.
You can then apply behaviors to set
sampling rules for your datasets without having to write, coordinate, and manage head
and tail sampling rules individually.
Control log data
Understanding your license consumption helps identify where you’re spending the most
money on your log data, and which services or operations are consuming the most of
your license capacity. Control log data to determine
what portion of your license is allocated to the most important data.
Review impact
After creating rules that shape and sample your data, use the tools that
Observability Platform provides to
review rule impact and ensure the rules you created
have the intended outcome.
