Manage data compliance

Are you concerned with:

  • Presence of PII data inside logs
  • Access to sensitive information by an unauthorized user

Mezmo can help you easily detect, obfuscate, or remove sensitive information before it reaches downstream systems.

Manage data compliance
Mezmo sits as an intelligent pre-processing layer in front of your observability solution, giving you the power to filter, transform, and route telemetry data before it incurs costs and complexity.
Detect sensitive data
Mezmo provides out of the box processors to detect sensitive information such as credit card numbers, emails, phone numbers in your telemetry data. Once identified these can be handled according to your business needs.
Transform data
Parse and standardize data into formats required by regulatory compliance. Redact or mask sensitive data before it reaches downstream systems. Mezmo’s Encrypt transformation can hide PII data that can be decrypted once it reaches a destination.
Route for storage
You may send only 20% of the data to observability systems, but discarding the rest of the data may not be an option due to compliance reasons. You can route and retain encrypted data in low-cost storage for future audits.
In-stream alerts
Your data stream content may change with time. With Mezmo, you can get alerts based on the detection of the PII metadata so that you can respond to data changes faster and thereby reduce potential compliance issues.

Key capabilities for managing data compliance

Capabilities focus on handling a wide range of data, even when it's messy or inconsistent. They are also addressing any issues with data accuracy and its structure.
Filter, sample & reduce

Remove low-value logs (DEBUG/INFO) to reduce noise and manage costs effectively. Learn more about supported processors.

Retain & route

Decide what stays hot, what moves to cold storage (S3, Azure Blob, GCP), or gets dropped. Learn more about supported destinations.

Data compliance

Redact, encrypt, or mask sensitive/PII data before reaching consumers.

Live tail + replay

Stream telemetry data in real-time and replay buffered events for instant incident investigation without waiting for indexing or storage delays.

Data profiling

Continuously analyze telemetry patterns to identify high-volume, low-value data streams and provide actionable recommendations for cost optimization. Learn how to use data profiling.

Responsive pipelines

Automatically adapt pipeline behavior based on real-time conditions, scaling processing capacity and adjusting sampling rates to maintain performance during traffic spikes.

Data enrichment

Enhance telemetry data with contextual metadata from external sources, standardize formats, and add business context to improve observability and enable better analysis.

Cardinality management

Monitor and control metric cardinality in real-time to prevent exponential cost increases from high-cardinality tags while preserving essential dimensional data.

Real results from real teams
