STACKIT Telemetry Router aggregates and routes audit logs across organizational hierarchies.

## Service Overview
- **Centralized Control**: Collects and standardizes STACKIT audit logs into OpenTelemetry (OTLP) format.
- **SIEM Forwarding**: Routes log streams to external SIEM tools like Splunk, Elasticsearch, or S3 storage.
- **90-Day Audit View**: Includes a free 90-day audit log viewing window in the STACKIT Portal.

## Technical Details
- **Flow Control**: Fail-safe retry logic prevents log drop errors during destination outages.
- **Scope**: Controls routing links at project, folder, or organization levels.

## Scope and Limits

The values below come from the STACKIT documentation and update themselves.

> From the STACKIT docs: [Overview › Scope and Limitations](https://docs.stackit.cloud/products/logging-and-monitoring/telemetry-router/basics/overview/#scope-and-limitations) (Source updated 22.07.2026, copied 05.10.2026)

- **Supported Data Types:** Currently, the service exclusively handles **Audit Logs**. Customers cannot send their own custom telemetry data (application logs, metrics, or traces) to the router; only STACKIT products have this capability.
- **Destination Formats:** For external routing, the router currently supports Object Storage (S3) and the OTLP protocol.
- **Availability:** The service is Generally Available (GA) in the regions EU01 (Germany) and EU02 (Austria).
- **Pricing:** Routing data to both internal STACKIT services and external destinations incurs fees.
