Cribl provides telemetry data management software for IT and Security teams that need more control over how logs, metrics, traces, configuration data, and other machine data are collected, shaped, stored, and analyzed. Positioned as the AI Platform for Telemetry and the Data Engine for IT and Security, Cribl helps enterprises manage rising data volume, variety, and cost without forcing lock-in to a single downstream tool.
Its portfolio spans data pipelines, edge collection, search-in-place, telemetry lake storage, managed cloud delivery, and AI-assisted workflows. Cribl emphasizes open formats, vendor-neutral interoperability, and deployment flexibility so customers can route high-value data to the right destinations, retain full-fidelity data economically, and investigate telemetry wherever it resides.
Offerings, Capabilities, and Integrations
Cribl’s platform is built around telemetry collection, processing, routing, reduction, enrichment, storage, replay, and investigation. Organizations can deploy Cribl self-hosted, in hybrid models, or through Cribl.Cloud, while using APIs, SDKs, and Terraform-based automation to standardize operations across environments. Cribl AI adds human-in-the-loop assistance for configuration, query creation, visualization, and sensitive-data workflows.
Integration breadth is a core strength. Cribl Stream supports 80+ sources and destinations, and the broader portfolio connects with cloud object stores, data lakes, analytics platforms, API endpoints, and security tools. Cribl Search can query data in place across environments including Amazon S3, Amazon Security Lake, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Data Explorer, Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, Snowflake, ClickHouse, Prometheus, and integrated Cribl data sources.
