StratoLens is a self-hosted Azure visibility platform. It runs in your own tenant; your infrastructure data never leaves it.

The Problem

Change tracking can surface too much noise without proper filtering:

Noisy Fields: Some resource properties change constantly but aren't meaningful
False Positives: Timestamp updates, internal IDs, and system-managed fields trigger unnecessary alerts
Signal vs Noise: Important changes get buried in a sea of irrelevant updates

The Solution

StratoLens Ignore Rules let you filter out unimportant field changes:

Sensible Defaults: Comes pre-configured with rules that filter common noise
Field-Level Control: Ignore specific properties on specific resource types
Fully Customizable: Add, modify, or remove rules to match your environment

From the product

Inside Ignore Rules

StratoLens ignore rules configuration filtered to AKS managed clusters, showing field-level rules that suppress noisy properties from change tracking — The ignore rule list from the Contoso Financial demo environment filtered to AKS, where field-level rules silence chatty properties that would otherwise flood the change feed. Shown with demo-environment data.

The signal-to-noise view contrasting meaningful changes recorded against the flood of noisy field updates the rules suppressed.
