Most common entry points
Today
- ·Per-node log shipping eats memory + CPU on every cluster
- ·FluentBit drops events under load — you only find out post-incident
- ·Your SIEM bill grew linearly with every new service
With Sasquatch
- →Drop-in DaemonSet replacement, same CRI socket, same /var/log paths
- →18× compression at the edge — cuts both egress and SIEM ingest
- →Lossless: zero events dropped, ever, even under sustained backpressure
Today
- ·Compliance demands 12 months hot retention; SIEM costs 4× per tier extension
- ·Filtering / dropping at ingest leaves audit-hold gaps
- ·Rehydration fees turn every breach investigation into a budget meeting
With Sasquatch
- →SHA-256-verified lossless retention to your S3 bucket — auditable, every byte
- →Tap Out forwards any time range to your existing SIEM in seconds
- →Snowman query engine speaks LogQL · SPL · TraceQL · PromQL natively
Today
- ·SOC 2 + HIPAA require complete unaltered logs; "1,247 events suppressed" fails audit
- ·Storage tiers compound: $0.10/GB-mo today, $1.20/GB-yr by quarter four
- ·eDiscovery + legal hold need original bytes, not summaries
With Sasquatch
- →Retention is a storage-class decision, not a pricing tier
- →Cryptographic chain-of-custody: every chunk has a signed integrity manifest
- →Stored in your bucket with your KMS key — no vendor lock-in on retention
Today
- ·Each tenant cluster ships full telemetry to a central SIEM — and pays for it
- ·You run multiple observability tools (logs, traces, metrics) in parallel
- ·Air-gapped clusters need their own deployment + signing chain
With Sasquatch
- →One agent for logs + traces + metrics — same DaemonSet, three signals
- →Air-gap mode: zero outbound to control plane, signed apt/yum repos
- →BYO cloud: chunks ship to your bucket, never through Sasquatch infrastructure
