Is Your Log Strategy Built for Scale: A Checklist

A self-assessment for retention, architecture, security, access, and governance.

This checklist is designed as a standalone artifact. Pull it out, bring it to a meeting, and evaluate your environment.

What it covers:

6 areas: Economics, Architecture, Security, Access & Usability, Governance, and Migration Readiness.

Where to start:

  • Filter known noise: source filtering for full exclusions, exclusion filters for partial
  • Flip the default to Flex: wildcard catch-all stops silent landings in the priciest tier
  • Close pipeline gaps: run datadog.pipelines:false, build what's missing
