Data fabrics are cohesive data layers that bridge data sources with data consumers, including analytics platforms such as SIEMs. They automate tasks like data ingestion, integration, and curation across diverse data sources, improving the agility and responsiveness of data ecosystems. More specifically, a security data fabric adds additional capabilities, including governance and compliance, security enrichment, and the integration of security events.

The massive growth of observability data isn’t limited to just log data. Metrics are growing just as fast, or faster. Making matters worse, DevOps and Engineering teams aren’t just dealing with the increasing volume of metrics data causing a spike in egress, storage, and compute costs. Many tools also charge by the number of custom metrics they track.
