# Destinations Destinations are the final endpoints where your processed telemetry data is sent for storage, analysis, or visualization. This section provides documentation for all supported destination platforms and systems. ## What are Destinations? Destinations receive and store your telemetry data for: * **Observability**: Monitoring, alerting, and visualization * **Security**: Threat detection and compliance monitoring * **Analytics**: Data analysis and business intelligence * **Storage**: Long-term data retention and archival * **Integration**: Connecting with other tools and platforms ## Destination Categories ### Observability Platforms * **APM & Monitoring**: Datadog, New Relic, Splunk Observability Cloud, ClickHouse/ClickStack * **Log Management**: Elasticsearch, Splunk, Logz.io, Coralogix, ClickHouse/ClickStack * **Metrics & Monitoring**: Prometheus, Grafana Cloud, Victoria Metrics, ClickHouse/ClickStack * **Distributed Tracing**: Jaeger, Zipkin, Honeycomb.io, ClickHouse/ClickStack ### Cloud Services * **AWS**: CloudWatch, S3, Managed Prometheus * **Google Cloud**: Cloud Logging, Cloud Monitoring, Cloud Storage * **Azure**: Monitor, Blob Storage, Sentinel * **Multi-Cloud**: Cross-platform observability solutions ### Security & Compliance * **SIEM Platforms**: Splunk, QRadar, Microsoft Sentinel * **Security Operations**: Google SecOps, Chronicle * **Compliance**: Audit logging and regulatory compliance * **Threat Detection**: Security monitoring and alerting ### Storage & Analytics * **Databases**: ClickHouse, InfluxDB, Snowflake * **Data Lakes**: S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud Storage * **Message Queues**: Kafka, RabbitMQ * **Custom Endpoints**: HTTP webhooks, OTLP endpoints ## Supported Telemetry Types Each destination supports one or more telemetry types: * **Logs**: Text-based data for debugging and analysis * **Metrics**: Numerical data for monitoring and alerting * **Traces**: Distributed tracing data for performance analysis ##
