- Configure the Maximum Upload Limit on the log type page to limit a log type's usage.
- While querying the data, define the data type as "number" for the number fields, and configure units so that you can aggregate the data with proper units.
- Configure the sensitive data to be hashed or masked before being ingested to address security and identity concerns.
