Problem
Enterprises face challenges in managing the escalating costs associated with telemetry data, which often includes noisy, incomplete, or misleading information. Existing monitoring solutions can strain system performance, leading to gaps in visibility and service disruptions, while the increasing volume of telemetry data raises concerns about accidental PII leaks and compliance violations.
Solution
Sawmills AI offers a smart telemetry management platform that leverages AI and machine learning to reduce observability costs by 50-80% while maintaining complete visibility. The platform identifies cost-saving opportunities by pinpointing issues such as verbose logging and high-cardinality metrics, and provides intelligent recommendations for optimization, including smart aggregation and trace compression. It also allows users to define policies to monitor specific telemetry thresholds and set automated actions, such as alerting or data sampling, to prevent overages and minimize downtime. Built on the OpenTelemetry collector, Sawmills provides a user-friendly, managed solution for telemetry data management without vendor lock-in.
