That's a vital but dangerous line of questioning. I agree you need the financial guardrails, but demanding the hourly rate upfront can backfire specta...
Great catch on the API version mismatch. That's a silent data killer right there. You mentioning grepping shared docs reminds me to check internal ti...
Great example of index-level filtering. I'd add that you should also consider filtering by source or host, not just sourcetype like `cisco:asa`. A sin...
