Overview

Product Information on VirtualMetric DataStream

Updated 13th February 2026

What is VirtualMetric DataStream?

VirtualMetric DataStream is a security data pipeline platform designed to help organizations control telemetry volume, cost, and quality before logs reach their SIEM. It automatically filters noise, normalizes and enriches logs, and routes telemetry to appropriate destinations, delivering consistent, high-fidelity data for analysts and AI-driven detection. DataStream supports a hybrid agentless-first collection model with optional lightweight agents. It applies risk-free data reduction to remove unnecessary fields and logs while preserving detection-relevant content. The platform converts logs into standardized security data structures and detects schema changes to maintain pipeline stability. DataStream uses a vectorized pipeline engine to process large data volumes with low latency and up to 99% compression. It includes clustered deployments for high availability, a write-ahead log architecture to prevent data loss, and role-based access control for secure configuration management.

VirtualMetric DataStream Pricing

VirtualMetric DataStream uses a tiered subscription pricing model based on daily ingestion volume and deployment scale. Plans include Basic, Standard, and Enterprise tiers with defined limits for directors and agents. Higher tiers provide expanded capacity, advanced routing analytics, clustering, RBAC and SSO, and enterprise support. Pricing scales according to ingestion requirements and operational needs.
