Ingestion and Volume

Learn how to manage the ingestion of data by Sumo Logic.

In this section, we will introduce the following concepts:

📄️ Log Ingestion

The rate of data creation is rarely constant. Whether your organization sees seasonal spikes, or if a new feature or product line produces huge increases in activity, Sumo Logic meets the needs of your organization, known or unknown, while maintaining the search performance you rely on.

📄️ Collection Status Page

The Status page provides a message volume history for your account, as well as a message volume histogram for each Collector, giving you immediate visual feedback about traffic spikes or collection issues. To see statistics for any bar in the histogram, hover your mouse pointer over the area of interest.
