CLOUDFLARE has rolled out eight major updates to its Observability platform, integrating logs, traces, analytics, alerts, dashboards, and export capabilities into a single, more predictable pricing model. The changes are designed to give teams a unified view across Cloudflare products, so a spike in 5xx responses can be investigated without switching datasets or tools.
The updates include: 1) a Logs home that combines Workers Observability and Log Explorer, enabling searches across HTTP events, firewall events, Workers, Containers, R2, and AI Gateway with the option to query across datasets in a single query soon; 2) end-to-end tracing from Cloudflare’s edge to origin, now in open beta, with baseline sampling, Trace Rules, and export to
OpenTelemetry, plus W3C trace context propagation; 3) a unified SQL API for querying telemetry across Cloudflare, usable via the Cloudflare CLI or MCP server, with native bindings in Workers; 4) a single pricing model for all ingested and stored logs and traces, effective from 1 December 2026, based on volume rather than events; 5) custom alerts on observability data,
configurable on any dataset supported by the SQL API, with webhooks and integrations; 6) 30 days of domain analytics retention across all plans, consolidating traffic, performance, security, cache, origin and DNS data; 7) custom dashboards that combine analytics from across Cloudflare with logs and security events; and 8) Logpush now available on all self‑serve plans, with
Transformers for SQL-based output transformations and usage-based pricing.
