Manage consumption

Learn how to create partitions and budgets for your telemetry data in Chronosphere Observability Platform and control the data you keep.

Telemetry data provides your teams with more detailed context to help identify and fix the root causes of issues. However, not all telemetry data provides the same utility, and you don’t want to consume a portion of your license with unnecessary data.

To help control data usage, first create partitions, which are slices of your log data with distinct owners. For example, you can create partitions for individual services, teams, and environments to provide a consistent structure for attributing usage and costs to the proper owners.

Partitions let you apply budgets, which are shaping policies you can assign to a partition to safeguard against runaway usage and overspending.

After defining partitions, use the Consumption page to view persisted log data consumption against license capacity. You can then shape log data to apply finer-grained control.
