Case Study: Sysdig achieves 80% faster log access and full Kubernetes observability with Mezmo

Mezmo is the Key to Kubernetes Observability

Sysdig, a developer of security software for containers, Kubernetes, and cloud services, faced limitations with a custom observability stack that funneled syslog into S3 and relied on Athena for queries. The setup was hard to manage, offered poor queryability and Kubernetes context, and made logs difficult for most team members to access — so Sysdig turned to Mezmo to meet needs for aggregated logging, Kubernetes support, performance at scale, compliance, and archiving.

Mezmo centralized Sysdig’s logs with a Kubernetes Agent and Kubernetes Enrichment, built-in alerting and graphing, and automatic S3 archiving while meeting SOC 2, PCI, HIPAA and GDPR requirements and supporting up to 50TB/month. As a result, Mezmo simplified the logging stack, made logs accessible across teams, enabled contextual alerts and visualizations, and delivered an 80% improvement in time-to-access log data, materially improving MTTD/MTTR.
