Think of it as your digital concierge to achieve faster time-to-value

IT and security teams face more challenges than ever, with data growing at 28% CAGR and taking numerous shapes and forms. Cribl’s suite of products – Stream, Edge, Search, and Lake – is built on a unified data processing engine specifically designed for IT and security data. These Cribl products provide users complete control and flexibility to access, explore, discover, collect, and process IT and security data at scale, either individually or as a comprehensive solution.

The question then becomes: How can you and quickly integrate Cribl with your existing tooling and systems of analysis to get value from decisions made and money spent? Despite vendor promises, there is no such thing as plug-and-play software, except maybe malware. Integration always involves some time learning the tool(s), and expecting immediate results without effort leads to frustration and delays. We all know, probably from experience, that proper onboarding and training are essential to successful integration.

There is always a learning curve. This knowledge gap causes resistance to change, deployment issues, configuration errors, integration mismatches, and delayed adoption. Truth be told though, this is the norm, not an exception. The challenge is getting staff up to speed fast. Luckily, technology has evolved to pick up the slack. One way is with Cribl Copilot. By leveraging Generative AI it, Copilot helps your staff onboard new Cribl products quickly and efficiently.

How can Cribl Copilot get you to value (treasure) faster? How about a treasure-hunting analogy!

Treasure hunting. What could this possibility have to do with deploying the Cribl portfolio? There is actually a lot of overlap, as both are looking to discover—both relic hunters and IT and security analysts are looking for something of value. It could be gold, silver, or insights. In any case, the hunting presents significant challenges: where best to look, how deep to search, and how to best leverage available tools.

New Tool Learning Curve Value

Case in point for the relic hunter: I recently bought a new metal detector that is simple to set up, learn, and use (the box said so). I figured I would be digging up doubloons and Spanish reales from the 1733 fleet (topic for another blog) in no time. But not so fast; it seems there is more to detecting than turning it on and waiting for a beep! There were 42 pages discussing discrimination settings, noise cancelation, ground balance adjustments, and notch settings. But with treasure waiting to be found and no time to waste, I figured I knew enough to get going. Alas, I found more 1970s pull tabs than 1670s Spanish Reales.

Well, back to the drawing board; maybe I did have to RTFM or chase down some YouTube videos. In any case, there needs to be an easier way to get up to speed in less time yet still know enough to use the tools effectively.
