Technology

Elastic Log Processing and LogReduce technologies are few patent pending technologies used by Sumo Logic. It is built around a globally distributed data retention architecture that keeps all log data available for instant analysis, eliminating the need for an enterprise to manage the cost and complexity of data archiving, backups and restoration.

  • With Elastic log processing one can process ALL the data, regardless of volume, type or location. It has helped creating a set of services that are separate and can be scaled independently and automatically.
  • LogReduce Technology reduces millions of log lines into a handful of human digestible patterns that enable IT teams to get to insights without having to manually write queries to slice and dice the data. This enables IT teams to quickly find important and emerging system, application, and user behavior patterns that would otherwise require days of analysis.
