Flex Frozen, Archive Search and CloudPrem help teams optimize logging costs and meet data security, retention and residency standards
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - June 10, 2025) - Datadog, Inc. (NASDAQ: DDOG), the monitoring and security platform for cloud applications, today at DASH announced new capabilities in its log management suite, which are designed to help organizations optimize logging costs at scale and meet the stringent data retention, auditability and data residency requirements of regulated industries.
Logs are critical for threat detection, incident response and audit trails. However, lack of flexibility, high costs and data retention limitations remain roadblocks for security and compliance teams. Financial services, healthcare and insurance companies face similar challenges, having to comply with regulations and maintain full control over sensitive operational data, including their logs. Likewise, organizations operating under regional data residency laws or internal security policies are often required to store data within controlled environments, whether on-premises or in-region cloud infrastructure.
These organizations need to remain compliant while having a scalable and efficient log management strategy. Traditional solutions, however, often introduce high costs, operational overhead and fragmented workflows.
At its DASH conference in 2023, Datadog launched Flex Logs, which has since become one of its fastest-growing products. Flex Logs decouples the costs of log storage from the costs of querying. It provides both short- and long-term log retention for a nominal monthly fee without sacrificing visibility, enabling streamlined correlation between all of an organization's logs, metrics and traces.
To help companies meet data residency regulations, policies and preferences—while further optimizing cost and efficiency—Datadog has launched new log management capabilities that build on the foundation set by Flex Logs. Datadog's latest enhancements enable organizations to support modern SIEM and security workflows while maintaining full visibility, cost consciousness and operational efficiency:
'As compliance standards grow more complex and global data regulations tighten, organizations face mounting pressure to retain log data longer, search it faster and keep it where it belongs,' said Michael Whetten, VP of Product at Datadog. 'With today's launches, Datadog makes it easier to manage logs, control their costs and stay compliant without sacrificing performance, accessibility or the user experience.'
