Eliminate noisy log lines with Adaptive Logs drop rules

Adaptive Logs introduces drop rules feature that allows teams to eliminate noisy logs before ingestion into Grafana Cloud, reducing noise and costs.

• •Drop rules enable filtering logs using label selectors, log levels, and content patterns with customizable drop percentages.
• •The system evaluates logs in order: exemptions (protected logs), drop rules (applied by priority), and patterns (optimization recommendations).
• •Common use cases include dropping 100% of health check logs, sampling repetitive batch processing logs at 90%, and targeting specific services.
• •Drop rules complement exemptions to protect critical logs and recommendations that surface unknown waste patterns.
• •Available now in public preview with admin-only access requiring the Adaptive Logs admin role.
