Log and event processing

Log and event processing offers a flexible central way of extracting value from ingested data. It can reshape incoming log data for better understanding, analysis, or further processing based on rules that you create, and it can log information in a wide variety of formats depending on the application or process, operating system, and other factors.

Log processing

In log processing, for example, you can extract numerical values from log lines with log processing, turn the values into metrics, and include the metrics in dashboards and problem detection.
