When mitigating network threats, every second counts. Security teams cannot rely on delayed summaries or aggregated analytics when actively hunting down an attack. They need immediate, unfiltered access to what is happening across their infrastructure at all times.
According to CrowdStrike’s Global Threat Report, the average eCrime “breakout time”—the window between initial access and lateral movement—has dropped to just 29 minutes, with the fastest observed breakout happening in 27 seconds (and data exfiltration beginning in under 4 minutes).
This demand for instantaneous data is exactly why Cloudflare Logpush exists. In fact, access to this specific feature is often the single biggest driver for organizations upgrading to a Cloudflare Enterprise plan.
Consider a common scenario: a WAF rule triggers on 10,000 requests within a single minute. Without Logpush, Cloudflare’s native dashboard aggregates this surge using adaptive sampling, displaying a statistical estimate rather than complete request details. Because raw log views are restricted during high-volume spikes, security teams can’t easily inspect individual payloads in the portal—nor can they automatically stream those edge events into a SIEM to correlate them with internal endpoint activity while the attack is actively unfolding.
Logpush vs. other analytics
Standard analytical dashboards are helpful for a quick overview of website traffic and high-level performance trends. However, they often lack the granular detail required by advanced security operations centers and dedicated threat hunters.
Logpush bridges this gap by allowing you to continuously stream raw, unaggregated HTTP, DNS, and Web Application Firewall (WAF) logs directly to your preferred destination. You get complete, unhindered access to every request and event exactly as they happen. There is no waiting for data batches to process or simplified summaries to generate.
SIEM integration
Unfiltered data is only useful if it lives in an environment where your team can actually query it. Logpush solves this challenge by feeding your network logs directly into your organization’s central Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tool. It also natively supports major cloud storage providers for scalable, long-term retention.
Whether your team relies heavily on Splunk, Datadog, AWS S3, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud, the integration process is seamless. This centralized approach ensures your security analysts do not have to jump between different vendor portals to investigate a single suspicious anomaly. This can help tremendously with resolving tool sprawl problems.
Fast threat reaction
When a sophisticated attack hits your servers, real-time visibility becomes absolutely non-negotiable. Your team needs to see the exact payloads, originating IP addresses, and specific request headers triggering your WAF rules immediately. Waiting even fifteen minutes for log delivery can mean the difference between successfully blocking a breach and dealing with a catastrophic data leak.
Logpush delivers the exact telemetry required to isolate compromised endpoints, update firewall rules dynamically, and stop attackers dead in their tracks. Rapid incident response simply cannot function effectively without this continuous stream of actionable intelligence.
Log retention for audits and security
Beyond active threat hunting, raw log retention is a strict requirement for many modern compliance frameworks. Regulatory standards often demand audit trails that can’t be edited after the fact for all external network activity. Auditors expect organizations to maintain complete records of all traffic, access requests, and security events for extended periods.
Logpush allows you to automatically archive these massive datasets into low-cost cloud storage buckets. This ensures your organization meets strict regulatory compliance auditing requirements without overwhelming your active SIEM platform with years of historical data.
Feature breakdown
If you scrolled right to the bottom of the article, here’s a TL;DR of Logpush features:
- Raw Data Access: View unfiltered HTTP, DNS, and WAF logs down to the specific request header.
- Continuous Streaming: Receive data in real-time without artificial delays or arbitrary batching windows.
- Platform Agnostic: Connect directly to your chosen enterprise cloud provider or SIEM dashboard.
- Customizable Filtering: Choose exactly which data fields to push to save on third-party data ingestion costs.
