TELEMETRY PIPELINES & DATA TRANSFORMATION:

THE KEY TO
BETTER OBSERVABILITY

Observability data can be complex and difficult to analyze. Telemetry pipelines offer a powerful and cost-efficient wayto combine, analyze, and enrich your data, making it easierto spot patterns and gain valuable insights. However, youneed to be able to transform your data to get actionableinsights, better visibility, and make informed decisions tooptimize system performance and user experience.

Here's what you need to know to get started with datatransformation and take your observability to the next level.

WHAT IS DATA TRANSFORMATION?

Data transformation is the process of converting data fromone format to another. Common transformations includereducing, aggregating, enriching, compacting, flattening,deduplicating, dropping, encrypting, sampling, and parsing.

COMMON USE CASES
REDUCING DATA VOLUME TO CONTROL COSTS
SUMMARIZING DATA TO MAKE SENSE OFLARGE VOLUMES OF DATA FROM DISPA -
PROTECTING SENSITIVE DATA CONTAINING PERSONAL INFORMATION
TECHNIQUES
REDUCE

Combine multiple events over time into one basedon a set of criteria.

AGGREGATION

Merge multiple data sources into one.

ENRICHMENT

Add contextual information to make it easierto interpret

COMPACTING FIELDS

Merge two or more fields within a data set together.

FLATTENING

Take data that currently exists as a single field andbreak it into separate fields.

DEDUPLICATION

Remove redundant information from a data set.

DROPPING

Remove certain types of information from a data set.

FIELD ENCRYPTION

Encrypt specific fields within a data set.

SAMPLING

Extract only a certain portion of data from a largerdata set.

PARSING

Convert data from one format to another.

BEST PRACTICES

Automate data transformation

Transform within your pipeline

Establish data governance rules

Don't compromise quality

Assess data transformation costs
