Edge Delta Hybrid Log Search Implementation Guide

This white paper introduces Edge Delta Hybrid Log Search, a solution designed to enable organizations to query logs directly from their own cloud data stores while maintaining control and compliance. The document outlines the challenges associated with self-hosted log search products, particularly in regulated industries, where data residency and cost-efficiency are critical. It describes how Hybrid Log Search combines the advantages of self-hosted and SaaS log search products, allowing users to protect sensitive data and reduce total cost of ownership. The paper details the deployment process, which includes using a Terraform package and Helm chart to set up necessary components such as an isolated Edge Delta Log Search service instance and associated storage resources. Furthermore, it explains how Edge Delta ensures data privacy by limiting data transmission to health metrics and query statistics, while keeping logs within the customer’s chosen cloud object store. The document also mentions that the product is currently in private beta, inviting participation in the program.
