We often encounter situations where a particular application begins generating unusually high volumes of logs for a specific source, sourcetype, or index. This can quickly lead to excessive license consumption and unplanned cost overruns. To address this, I am exploring an approach that provides more direct control to application owners or stakeholders—allowing them to decide whether log ingestion should be temporarily paused or approved for suspension. This could be achieved through an automated workflow where users receive an API-triggered notification or an email containing a decision link. With this model, we can prevent unnecessary license impact while ensuring that any action taken has explicit user consent. I’d appreciate your thoughts on this approach.
