Datadog decouples storage from compute costs with Flex Logs, providing a solution for long-term retention of logs without impeding query performance.

With Datadog Log Management, learn how Flex Logs helps your teams:

- Cost-effectively consolidate all logs by storing logs of any type from any log source within Datadog, reducing the number of places they need to be stored.
- Optimize query performance to match the needs of your users for sensitive investigations, compliance audits, security investigations, or needle-in-a-haystack searches.
- Troubleshoot faster with a simple, integrated query experience using the Logs Explorer – no need for a query language or to re-index logs from archives.
