Drop unwanted telemetry at ingestion layer using Control Plane

Drop unwanted telemetry​

Last9 control plane allows dropping telemetry data at the ingestion layer before it gets stored. Dropping telemetry data is useful when you don't want to store and query it without changing instrumentation.

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".
