Telemetry data is everywhere, but actually making sense of it? That’s the hard part. Without a way to filter, transform, and route the right data to the right place, you’re stuck with high storage costs and limited visibility.

‍

In our webinar, Telemetry Pipeline 101, Mezmo’s Bill Balnave broke down what makes a good telemetry pipeline and why it matters for DevOps and engineering teams. From optimizing log management to cutting down on unnecessary data bloat, a well-built pipeline helps you get useful insights without burning through your budget.

Key Takeaways

1. Telemetry data is valuable, but storing it is expensive and inefficient: Organizations generate massive amounts of telemetry data, but do not analyze it effectively, resulting in missed opportunities. About 30% of IT infrastructure spending goes to observability tools, often storing unnecessary telemetry data "just in case." This makes cost control and efficiency a high priority.
2. Managing telemetry data comes with challenges: The challenges include limited visibility into collected data,  frequent changes in data volume, structure, and formats, difficulty in managing sensitive data, and the temporal value of data. Also, different consumers of telemetry data, such as Site Reliability Engineers (SREs), developers, and customer service, have different requirements. 
3. Telemetry pipeline optimizes data use for cost efficiency and performance:  A structured pipeline collects, filters, profiles, transforms, enriches, and routes telemetry data to maximize cost efficiency and performance. It enables data profiling to optimize storage, reduce costs, and improve data value. It can identify sensitive data for compliance, detect volume surges to prevent budget overruns, and automate response mechanisms to dynamically adjust data flow. Additionally, archival and rehydration strategies help control costs by storing less critical data in cost-effective storage and retrieving it only when needed.
