[O.DIP.5] Optimize telemetry data storage and costs

Category: RECOMMENDED

Optimize costs associated with storing and processing large amounts of telemetry data by using techniques like data filtering and compression. When dealing with non-security related telemetry data, data sampling can also be an effective method to reduce costs.

Select cost-effective solutions and consumption-based resources for data storage. Be strategic about data retention—remove unused or unnecessary data from storage regularly. Also, be selective about which data sources are ingested and ensure they are required for effective analysis to avoid unnecessary spend. Always remember that while managing costs is important, it should not compromise the integrity and completeness of your data, especially when it comes to security.
