Observability Pipelines. Shape Before it Lands.

Transform, enrich, redact, reduce.

Transform, enrich, redact, reduce, and parse your observability data with real-time and scheduled pipelines.

Redact PII Before It’s Stored

Strip or mask sensitive fields at ingestion, before data ever hits disk.

Parse and Enrich in Real Time

VRL functions transform data the moment it arrives, no batch delay.

One Pipeline, Any Format

Handle JSON, syslog, CEF, and custom formats without separate parsers per source.

Data Processing

Shape Data Before It Costs You

Pipeline Types

  • Real-time

    Transform data the instant it arrives. Parse, filter, and enrich streams on the fly, turning raw data into immediate insights.

  • Scheduled

    Orchestrate batch transformations precisely when you need them. Aggregate massive datasets, convert logs to actionable metrics, and process data on your timeline.

Pipeline Types

Data Transformation

  • VRL Functions

    Build custom transformations that parse, enrich, and filter your data streams with functions that handle complex logic requirements.

  • Data Parsing

    Transform logs into structured data regardless of format using pre-built parsing functions.

Data Transformation

Data Enrichment

  • Enrichment Tables

    Transform raw events into context-rich data using simple CSV lookup tables. Add location data, user details, and metadata that turns isolated signals into patterns.

  • Dynamic Lookups

    Pull in external context via API at ingestion time, no separate enrichment step required.

Data Enrichment

Pipeline Components

  • Function Nodes

    Build data processing workflows with VRL function nodes. Execute custom logic for complex transformations and create reusable components.

  • Stream Operations

    Filter, clone, and route streams to multiple destinations, ensuring every bit of data reaches exactly where it needs to go.

Benchmarks

Measured against industry leaders

Same telemetry, same workloads, one platform. Every number is OpenObserve against a named vendor - not an industry average.
