Drop

Drop unwanted telemetry at ingestion layer using Control Plane

Control Plane — Pipeline Sequence: Drop

Order of Last9's pipeline processing.

Drop lets you discard unwanted telemetry that you don’t want to store and query, at runtime — no code changes, no redeploys, no policy updates. For example, if you need debug logs during an incident, just remove the drop rule. It’s a faster, simpler alternative to code-level governance.

Create new drop rule

Head to the Control Plane and create a new Drop Rule.

Control Plane — New Drop Rule

You can configure rules with == and != matching filters to drop incoming data. Do note, this data is not ingested and cannot be recovered as well. To verify the filters before saving the rule, you can click on “View in Dashboard”.
