Cribl Stream

If you can Stream it, you can dream it. Check out the latest new and enhanced sources and destinations for Cribl Stream:

• Wiz: Ingest security, threat, and vulnerability data with the Wiz source. Enjoy flexible configuration options, like collection state tracking and retry logic. Learn more.
• Oracle: Connect directly to your Oracle databases with this new source. Learn more.
• Google Security Operations (fka Google Chronicle): Enhanced destination supporting both unstructured and structured methods for sending data to Google SecOps. Learn more.
• OpenTelemetry: The OTLP Source and Destination can now receive and send OLTP logs alongside metrics and traces for a unified approach. New batching options improve throughput and reduce latency. Added support for OLTP v1.3.1. Learn more.

Cribl Edge

• 250,000 Cribl Edge Nodes – Edge Leaders now support up to 250k Edge Nodes! Scalability like nothing you’ve ever seen before. Learn more.
• Windows 10 & 11 support for workstations with an always-on network connection – think non-personal use desktops that don’t have power management features enabled. Learn more.
• Original events dropped in pipelines or sent to the DevNull destination are no longer counted against your ingestion quota. So go drop it like it’s summer-in-Vegas hot to get even more out of your license! Learn more.

Cribl Search

• New integrations allow you to search through ❄️ Snowflake ❄️ warehouses and 🔥 Prometheus 🔥metrics. Both act as central collection points for data, continuously updating and aggregating data from multiple systems. Gain greater visualization, simplified analysis, alerting, and reporting for more-informed decision making.
• Dataset Acceleration: Prescan large datasets in Object Stores for faster searches. (Faster than the search for Doug.) Generate metadata to optimize search performance, especially for very large datasets. After the first prescan, only the data modified will be scanned — resulting in even better, faster performance. Learn more.
• Email notifications can now include attachments of CSV/JSON result sets. Share datasets, provides, and results with Teams. Learn more.
• Cribl Search Macros: Save and reuse fragments of search queries as macros, streamlining the process of constructing new searches. Learn more.

Cribl.Cloud

• New User Interface Experience! It’s sleek. It’s sexy. It’s our new UI! Opt-in to test it out.
• Workspaces offer a multi-tenancy capability so you can create multiple isolated instances in your org. Strengthen security and fulfill compliance and isolation requirements. Learn more.
• New AWS Regions: Central-1 (Canada Central, eh!), AP-Southeast-2 (Sydney), and US-East-2 (Ohio).
• Email Notifications can be sent in Cribl Stream, Edge, and Search without a separate mail server.
