Talk to an Expert ›When Cribl Stream becomes the center of your data universe, your individual settings, routes, pipelines, and packs become a critical aspect of your work. What happens if you lose access to the UI? If you are on a licensed version of Cribl Stream backing up the work that you are in Sources, Destinations, Routes, Pipelines, and Packs would be done easily using the GitOps remote repo. That would allow you to back up all configurations to your remote repository and then bring it back into a new server/system. Of course, Cribl.Cloud users don’t have to worry about this either.
But if you do not have a licensed version and have been using the free version of self-managed Cribl Stream, how do you get a backup of this work? So long as you can still access Cribl Stream’s GUI/UI, you can export your work for the routes and pipelines. This is actually a great time to mention the Pack capabilities – aside from being able to install the Packs that Cribl offers in the Packs Dispensary, you can also create these yourself to produce a self-contained package of your work. When you need to share or migrate backup that works, you just export the Pack and it takes all of the routes and pipelines you created with it. You can read more about the Packs here.
But, if you do not have your routes and pipelines in a Pack on your setup and you want to backup other portions of the configuration of your Cribl Stream server, here’s what you do:
For pipelines that are not in a Pack configuration do:
filename.crbl
file will download to your browser’s download folder on your desktop.If you have made any changes to the Global Settings in the Settings menu at the top of the Cribl Stream UI:
These items you may need to capture these manually or with screenshots and replicate these in your new setup. These are the configurations that would have been included with your GitOps/GitHub external repo setup with Enterprise licensing.
If Cribl Stream’s server has encountered some sort of catastrophic failure and you cannot access the GUI/UI any longer to conduct the above and you wish to recover as much of your configuration as possible, you may have to go to the filesystem level to grab backups of your Cribl Stream server. To do this, follow these steps:
$CRIBL_HOME/bin
directory, where the package was extracted (e.g.: /opt/cribl/bin)../cribl stop
” command.$CRIBL_HOME\local
directory at a minimum. Preferably everything under $CRIBL_HOME.$CRIBL_HOME\local
directory at a minimum (or everything under $CRIBL_HOME
directory)../cribl start
” command.This guide is a perfect way to back up your locally installed Cribl Stream instance that you’re using in your home lab or in a testing environment. As I mentioned at the beginning, Cribl Stream over Cribl.Cloud eliminates the need to manually back up any configurations. Licensed versions of Stream running in your own environment can also use GitOps.
