The Cribl Stream Solution
Optimize your IT, security, observability, and telemetry data without the tradeoffs of budget, flexibility, and visibility. The Cribl Stream solution helps you gain the choice and control of getting the data you need, in the formats you want, and sent off to the destinations required.
The Challenge of IT and Security Data
IT and Security teams are facing more challenges than ever with dramatically increasing volumes of machine-generated data growing at 28% CAGR and the incredible number of shapes and forms that data often takes. Tool complexity and vendor lock-in make detecting and responding to issues when sending data to third-party analytics platforms difficult. That’s all before adhering to privacy and regulatory standards, which can have significant financial implications.
The Cribl Stream Solution
Cribl Stream is a robust, vendor-agnostic stream processing engine focused on centralized parsing and data processing. Take any source and use Stream to route, reduce, reformat,enrich, or otherwise structure data in flight, then send it to any destination. Delegate access to the appropriate teams with role-based access controls. Cribl enables customers to route a full-fidelity copy of raw data to low-cost storage for long-term retention for compliance audit purposes and “replay” it to analytics tools to answer questions you didn’t predict.
Facets of Cribl’s IT and Security Solution
Data collection and replay
Cribl Stream is the best way to get multiple data formats into your analytics tools. Use the Cribl Stream universal receiver to collect from any observability data source — and even to schedule batch collection from multiple APIs. In addition, use ad-hoc data collection to recall data from low-cost storage when you need to replay logs to analytics tools for later investigations.
Data shaping
Shape all the data you need to drive decisions about your environment. Translate and transform data from all your sources into the tools you choose. Obtain a complete picture of your data by enriching logs with third-party data. Stream collects data from all your sources and shapes it into actionable logs and metrics for analysis.
Data reduction
Reduce as much as 50% of ingested log volume to control costs and improve system performance. Eliminate duplicate fields, null values, and elements that provide little analytical value. Filter and screen events for dynamic sampling or aggregate log data into metrics for massive volume reduction. Do all of this without worry — you can keep a full-fidelity copy in a low-cost destination and replay it later if needed.
Data routing
Send data to the most cost-effective destinations, including low-cost storage locations like S3, for long-term retention. Route data to the best tool for the job by translating and formatting data into any tooling schema required. Let different departments choose different analytics environments without deploying new agents or forwarders.
Cribl Stream Packs
Packs are predefined sets of routes and pipelines, data samples, lookups, and other knowledge objects built around common use cases. Cribl Packs can be downloaded from our repository and implemented within your Cribl Stream instances. Users can also create new Cribl Packs to share functionality easily between Leader nodes and Worker groups. Packs are the fastest way to maximize the value of your Stream investment.
Gain more control, choice, and scalability of your IT and Security Data
Reduce management overhead with easy-to-use GUI-based configuration and testing. Capture live data and monitor your data processing engine in real-time. Gain further insights with graphical data flow mapping. Take advantage of automated upgrades to easily and efficiently keep a whole fleet of Workers up to date without tedious CLI-based management. Use role-based activity control to ensure that only the right teams see what they need to do their jobs. Manage Stream on-premises, as a hybrid deployment, or use our Cribl Cloud implementation.
