Access policies are now available for STACKIT Logs
Section titled “Access policies are now available for STACKIT Logs”You can now configure access policies on your STACKIT Logs instances to manage read and write access.
What are access policies?
Section titled “What are access policies?”Access policies let you control who can access your Logs instance. Instead of creating and sharing separate access tokens, you can directly grant your existing service accounts permission to read or write logs.
Key benefits
Section titled “Key benefits”- Reduced operational overhead: Removes the need to create and manage separate, instance-specific access tokens. You can reuse your existing service accounts.
- Improved security: Replaces static, long-lived instance access tokens with short-lived access tokens obtained through your service account keys.
Availability and usage
Section titled “Availability and usage”Access policies are available through the HTTP API and the STACKIT SDK. Support in the STACKIT Portal, the STACKIT CLI, and the STACKIT Terraform Provider will soon follow.
For step-by-step instructions on how to use a service account to send logs to an instance, refer to our OpenTelemetry Collector guide.

STACKIT Logs now supports pattern extraction
Section titled “STACKIT Logs now supports pattern extraction”We are excited to announce that STACKIT Logs now natively supports pattern extraction.
This feature enables automatic grouping and clustering of unstructured log data into distinct visual patterns directly within Grafana, making it easier than ever to analyze high-volume log streams.
What is pattern extraction?
Section titled “What is pattern extraction?”When debugging or monitoring applications, logs can be overwhelming due to their sheer volume and repetitive nature. Pattern extraction automatically analyzes your incoming logs, identifies common structures, and groups them. This enables you to:
- Spot recurring trends: Identify which error or warning messages are occurring most frequently.
- Reduce noise: Filter out repetitive log lines to concentrate on unique, anomalous events.
- Simplify querying: Gain high-level insights into your log distributions without writing complex query logic.
Key benefits
Section titled “Key benefits”- Zero Configuration: Pattern extraction is enabled automatically for all STACKIT Logs instances. No setup or configuration is required on your side.
- No Extra Cost: This feature is fully integrated into the service and comes at no additional cost.
- Native Grafana Integration: You can start using the Pattern tab in Grafana’s Drilldown view for logs with your STACKIT Logs instances immediately.
For more information on how to explore and visualize log patterns in Grafana, refer to the Grafana Log Patterns Documentation.

STACKIT Logs ingestion rate limit increased
Section titled “STACKIT Logs ingestion rate limit increased”Following the successful transition to General Availability and based on our observation of stable service performance, we are pleased to announce an increase in the ingestion rate limit for STACKIT Logs instances.
The ingestion rate limit has been raised from 4 MB/s to 10 MB/s for all instances. This change allows you to ingest larger volumes of log data more efficiently, supporting even more demanding workloads.
These updates have been applied to all existing instances and will be the default for any new instances.
