Not really. Most observability platforms already have tools to support this kind of workflow in a more cost effective way.

I think the real problem isn’t logging, it’s the fact that your developers are logging sensitive information. If they’re doing that, then it’s a moot point if those logs are also being pushed to a third party observability platform or not because you’re already leaking sensitive information.

Fair enough, but if you don't push them to "log everything" there are less chances for error.

I disagree.

If developers think “log everything” means “log PII” then that developer is a liability regardless.

Also, this is the sort of thing that should get picked up in non-prod environments before it becomes a problem.

If you get to the point where logging is a risk then you’ve had other failures in processes.
