Overview

BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) Logs is Datadog’s log management solution that runs in your own infrastructure. It indexes and stores logs in your object storage, executes search and analytics queries, and connects to the Datadog UI for a fully integrated experience. BYOC Logs is designed for organizations with specific requirements:

• Data residency, privacy, and regulatory requirements
• High volume requirements

Here is a high-level overview of how BYOC Logs works:

The diagram illustrates the BYOC Logs hybrid architecture, highlighting how data is processed and stored within your infrastructure:

• Ingestion: Logs are collected from Datadog Agents and other sources using standard protocols.
• Your Infrastructure: The BYOC Logs platform runs entirely inside your infrastructure. It processes and stores logs in your own object storage (Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Azure Blob Storage).
• Datadog SaaS: The Datadog platform is BYOC Logs’ Control Plane. It hosts the Datadog UI and communicates with BYOC Logs through a secure connection to send log queries and receive results.
