Cloudflare Log Explorer is now GA, providing native observability and forensics

Cloudflare announces the general availability of Log Explorer, an in-dashboard observability and forensics product that provides native access to Cloudflare logs with full context, custom dashboards (including natural language chart creation), log search via filters/SQL/API, saved queries, and upcoming custom alerting and flexible retention, enabling faster detection, investigation, and mitigation without external SIEM pipelines. Built on R2 object storage, Parquet, and Delta Lake with a custom compaction algorithm and Apache DataFusion, Log Explorer reduces cost and complexity while improving performance for security and reliability monitoring across Cloudflare datasets.
