Advanced Log Analytics

Bring Your Own Query: Migration to Datadog Log Management is made simple with automatic translation of your query to Notebooks. Bring your own query from your existing logging tool and watch it be reconstructed in a step-by-step breakdown so you can understand how the data is analyzed.

To qualify for this Product Preview, you should currently be using (or plan to use) Datadog Log Management and have a portion of your logs in Splunk or another query tool.

Bits AI Data Analyst brings natural language and AI-driven guidance directly into Datadog Notebooks, enabling users to explore data, generate visualizations, and investigate issues conversationally. Instead of writing complex queries or stitching together SQL and transformations, users can ask rich analytical questions like:

• “Give me all the error logs from the past day and show me distinct log messages.”
• “Break down latency by service and identify the top contributors.”
• “Join error logs with a reference table of known issues and highlight anything new.”
• “Show me spikes in 5xx errors correlated with deployment tags.”

The Data Analyst interprets the question and builds a logical sequence of notebook cells — including queries, transformations, joins, and visualizations — that together form a complete, step-by-step analysis. Each cell builds on the previous one, helping users dig deeper into the problem, refine their investigation, and understand the results in context.
