Datadog + managed ClickHouse
Datadog can now search logs stored in ClickHouse. LogHouse gives you a fully managed ClickHouse backend purpose-built for the job.
LogHouse is a fully managed logging platform built on ClickHouse. It manages schemas, ingestion, scaling, storage, retention, optimization and upgrades. You can use it with Datadog — or without it.
In June 2026, Datadog and ClickHouse announced Preview capabilities that let you route high-volume logs to ClickHouse using Datadog Observability Pipelines and query those logs from Datadog Log Explorer without re-ingesting them into Datadog.
That is Datadog’s product, in Preview — not generally available unless Datadog says otherwise for your account. LogHouse does not have an official Datadog partnership and Datadog does not endorse LogHouse. We provide the managed ClickHouse backend so you don’t have to become a ClickHouse operator to use that architecture.

Before
Telemetry
→ Datadog ingestion
→ Datadog storage
→ Datadog retention economics
Now
Telemetry

→ LogHouse / ClickHouse

The interface stays familiar. The economics change.
You bought Datadog because your engineers like Datadog. You shouldn’t have to rip it out just because log volumes exploded.
Store appropriate high-volume logs in LogHouse. Preview federated query from Datadog Log Explorer depends on Datadog enabling it for the account.

(Federated Logs — Datadog Preview)
Someone could provision ClickHouse themselves. Then they manage schemas, tables, authentication, storage, compute, scaling, reliability, retention, optimization, upgrades, and monitoring.
LogHouse handles this. The pitch is Datadog + LogHouse: the Datadog experience with ClickHouse economics.
Enter daily volume and optional current Datadog logging spend. We do not invent Datadog list prices.
No. Keep Datadog Log Explorer, dashboards, monitoring, and Observability Pipelines. Move high-volume logs onto LogHouse as a managed ClickHouse backend.
Yes, in Datadog’s Federated Logs Preview, announced with ClickHouse in June 2026. Datadog Log Explorer can search logs stored in ClickHouse without re-ingesting them. This is Datadog Preview functionality, not a LogHouse partnership announcement.
You can provision ClickHouse yourself. Then you own schemas, tables, auth, storage, compute, scaling, retention, optimization, upgrades, and reliability. LogHouse is that operational layer as a product.
No. Datadog partnered with ClickHouse on Preview routing and federated search. LogHouse provides managed ClickHouse infrastructure designed to fit that architecture. We do not claim a Datadog endorsement.
Managed ClickHouse underneath Datadog Log Explorer — Preview federated search on Datadog’s side, operations on ours.
No infrastructure to manage.
