When responding to network threats, every second matters. Security teams cannot afford to wait for delayed summaries or aggregated metrics while an attack is underway. They need immediate, unfiltered visibility into activity across their infrastructure so they can detect, investigate, and respond in real time.
CrowdStrike’s Global Threat Report shows the average eCrime “breakout time” — the interval from initial access to lateral movement — is now just 29 minutes. The fastest breakout observed occurred in 27 seconds, with data exfiltration starting in under 4 minutes. These shrinking windows make instant data access essential for defenders.
This urgency explains why many organizations choose Cloudflare Logpush. For numerous teams, the ability to stream raw edge logs in real time is the primary reason to upgrade to Cloudflare Enterprise.

Imagine a WAF rule firing 10,000 times in a single minute. Without Logpush, Cloudflare’s dashboard may show only sampled or aggregated results during that spike, obscuring individual requests and payloads. In that scenario, security teams cannot inspect each triggering request through the portal, nor can they stream raw edge events into a SIEM to correlate with internal endpoint data while the attack evolves.
Logpush vs. other analytics
Typical analytics dashboards provide useful summaries for traffic and performance trends, but they often lack the fine-grained detail required for advanced security investigations. When facing a targeted attack, statistical summaries and delayed processing are inadequate.
Cloudflare Logpush fills that gap by continuously streaming raw, unaggregated HTTP, DNS, and WAF logs to the destination you choose. This delivers every request and event exactly as it occurs, without batching or sampling, enabling live threat hunting and precise forensic analysis.
SIEM integration
Raw logs are only valuable if they can be queried and correlated with other telemetry. Logpush solves this by sending edge logs directly into your central Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) platform and supporting major cloud storage providers for long-term retention.
Whether you use Splunk, Datadog, AWS S3, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud, Logpush integrates smoothly. Centralizing logs reduces the need to switch between vendor portals during investigations and helps address tool sprawl by keeping all relevant data in one searchable place.
Fast threat reaction
When a sophisticated attack hits, teams must immediately see exact payloads, source IPs, and request headers that triggered WAF rules. Even a fifteen-minute delay in log delivery can turn a containable incident into a major breach. Real-time streams of edge telemetry let analysts isolate compromised systems, apply targeted mitigations, and update firewall rules dynamically.
Logpush provides the live data necessary to accelerate incident response and prevent attackers from moving laterally or exfiltrating data.
Log retention for audits and security
Beyond active hunting, many compliance frameworks require immutable audit trails of external network activity. Regulations and auditors expect complete, unalterable records of traffic, access attempts, and security events retained for defined periods.
Logpush can automatically archive raw logs to cost-efficient cloud storage, preserving a full history without overloading your SIEM with years of data. This approach satisfies regulatory audit requirements while keeping operational platforms performant.
Feature breakdown
Here’s a concise summary of Logpush capabilities:
- Raw Data Access: Capture unfiltered HTTP, DNS, and WAF logs, including full request headers and payload metadata.
- Continuous Streaming: Receive logs in real time with no artificial batching or sampling delays.
- Platform Agnostic: Push logs directly to your preferred cloud provider or SIEM tool.
- Customizable Filtering: Select which fields to forward to control ingestion costs and focus on the most relevant telemetry.
