observIQ Expands Advanced Support for Sumo Logic in Security and Observability Data

We’re excited to announce that as part of our expanded alliance with Sumo Logic, observIQ extended its support for Sumo’s platform. This allows customers to send logs and metrics to Sumo Logic, leveraging our telemetry pipeline, BindPlane. We’ve also made it possible to automatically recommend processors in our pipeline that format data specifically as Sumo Logic expects—once Sumo Logic is a destination for BindPlane. Additionally, Sumo Logic customers now have the first fully integrated data pipeline based on OpenTelemetry to leverage as part of their telemetry data collection strategy.

Our approach with Sumo Logic highlights the advanced capabilities of BindPlane by providing additional intelligence (notice I didn’t use the overused word AI) to simplify the configuration and management of telemetry data. While BindPlane has had the concept of processors for some time, we are now actively recommending processors as customers stream their telemetry data into specific platforms like Sumo Logic. These processors act as filters that allow you, as a customer, to decide the quantity, type, and format of the data you send to your SIEM and observability platforms. For the Sumo Logic destination, BindPlane automatically sets the _sourceCategory and datasource fields when sending the data to Sumo Logic.

Sumo Logic customers looking to deploy OpenTelemetry in their environments will find the process much easier with observIQ. BindPlane, powered by OpenTelemetry, by streamlining the creation of an actionable, end-to-end telemetry pipeline. It brings together data standardization, fleet management, and control into a centralized hub that facilitates telemetry collection, processing, and transmission—all from a single location.

BindPlane facilitates data migration from legacy platforms to Sumo Logic by supporting a wide range of source platforms. (A full list of BindPlane’s destinations is here) So, whether you are an existing Sumo Logic customer wanting to standardize on OpenTelemetry or a new Sumo Logic customer wanting to migrate to Sumo Logic, BindPlane can be the telemetry data pipeline to drive these initiatives.

We are pumped to collaborate with Sumo Logic customers and partners to accelerate their telemetry data collection and OpenTelemetry deployments. BindPlane provides comprehensive, integrated support for Sumo Logic, offering several benefits for Sumo Logic customers:

• Unified Telemetry: Powered by OpenTelemetry, BindPlane enables teams to gather, process, and ship metrics, logs, and traces to any o11y or SIEM tool in a standardized way.
• Unified Fleet: From BindPlane, teams can deploy and manage thousands of OTel Collectors in Linux, Windows, and Kubernetes environments--all from a scalable interface.
• Unified Control: BindPlane streamlines a team’s ability to sculpt and direct data by coupling live previews and snapshots with intelligent processors and controls. Reduce the data volume by 40% or more before it arrives at your o11y or SIEM destination (in this case, Sumo Logic’s platform).

Don’t take our word for it. Try it out yourself by requesting a BindPlane or BindPlane Enterprise trial license or contacting us, and let us know that you're a Sumo Logic customer or partner.
