Lightstep now offers ingestion rules to help you control metric-ingestion costs.

Metric ingestion rules page

With ingestion rules, you control which metrics get into Lightstep based on metric names and other attributes. Ingestion rules can help you:

  • Ingest only the metrics you need.
  • Block low-value, high-cardinality metrics.
  • Lower your monthly active time series usage.
  • Stay within your budget and lower overage costs.
