Feature Overview

CloudPrem lets you store, search, and analyze petabytes of logs in any region while staying fully integrated with the Datadog platform. It brings Datadog’s high-performance log engine into your environment while providing AI-assisted troubleshooting and seamless correlation across all telemetry. Retain security data long-term for full visibility while reducing operational overhead and costs.

Gain end-to-end visibility without switching tools

Correlate self-hosted logs with metrics, traces, and RUM in Datadog for full-context observability and security
Accelerate troubleshooting and root cause analysis with the help of Bits AI
Perform advanced analytics in Datadog Log Explorer and use Natural Language Queries (NLQ) to surface insights instantly
Use the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enable AI and LLM agents to discover datasets, query CloudPrem, and reason natively over your logs

Store and analyze petabytes of logs cost-effectively in your environment

Scale easily with decoupled storage and compute and advanced compression algorithms
Reduce infrastructure and operational costs by storing logs directly on low-cost object storage from day one
Control ingestion costs with Observability Pipelines by filtering low value logs before storing them in CloudPrem

Reduce operational complexity from setup to scale

Create and monitor new clusters from the Datadog UI, along with managed upgrades, autoscaling, and prebuilt dashboards and alerts
Flexibly adopt new logging sources and destinations with Observability Pipelines’ out-of-the-box integrations
Transform and standardize logs with built-in support for Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF), OTEL, Splunk CIM, or custom mappings

Support regional compliance requirements while breaking data silos

Process and retain logs entirely within your own infrastructure to help meet data residency and compliance requirements
Analyze logs across distributed environments—whether data is stored locally or in Datadog–for a unified, global search experience
Discover, classify, and manage sensitive data in your logs with 150+ built-in detection rules for PII, PCI, and other regulated data
Help enforce access security with audit history and enterprise-grade controls including RBAC and SSO

Retain and search security logs for cost-effective forensic analysis

Build your own security data lake with CloudPrem to centralize, enrich, and standardize logs for historical threat analysis
Retain logs in OCSF format for a year or more to meet compliance needs or query them in real time for threat hunting
Add security context—such as GeoIP, threat intelligence, or network device metadata—with enrichment tables
Control costs with out-of-the-box Packs for widely used sources such as Akamai, Cloudflare, VPC Flow, Palo Alto Firewall, Zscaler, Windows, and more
