OpenObserve Pipelines lets you filter, transform, enrich, and route telemetry before storage-helping reduce noise, cut costs, and turn raw data into actionable insights in real time.

## What you'll learn

- Understand the OpenObserve Pipelines feature
- Learn practical approaches to transforming and enriching messy data into something queryable and useful
- See how pipelines can aggregate and filter logs across multiple teams and environments

Most observability platforms require you to ingest everything first and decide what to do with the data later. OpenObserve Pipelines flips that model, giving you the ability to filter, transform, enrich, and route telemetry data either in real time or on a schedule, before it reaches storage.

In this webinar, we’ll tackle common observability pain points head-on and demonstrate how to solve them using data processing workflows in OpenObserve. You’ll learn how to reduce storage costs by filtering unnecessary data, route logs to the right teams without duplication, eliminate noise before it reaches your dashboards, and transform messy telemetry into actionable insights, all before it’s stored.
