Choose Your Track
The CriblCon25 Campus Experience splits into two distinct tracks (Cribl Core and Cribl Advanced), designed to meet you exactly where you are on your journey to conquering telemetry data. Whether you're just starting to dip your toes into Cribl's power or you're already wrestling complex pipelines, there's a focused track built to level up your skills. Choose the path that resonates with your current Cribl expertise and get ready for targeted learning that will immediately impact how you manage your data.
What You’ll Learn In Cribl Core
Newer to Cribl? Maybe you've snagged your Cribl Certified User credential and have a few pipelines humming in production? Cribl Core provides the structured path to truly master the fundamentals – it's like going from seeing raw firewall logs to identifying threat patterns, and optimizing data flow for faster, more effective security analysis later on. This is where you build that core Cribl intuition and really grasp what's happening when your pipelines go live."You’ll get hands-on with the platform and come away with a strong foundation in four key areas:
Data Onboarding Fundamentals: Learn how to ingest and prep data so it’s ready for action.
Data Routing Fundamentals: Understand how to direct your data where it needs to go.
Data Reduction Fundamentals: Use built-in tools to minimize data volume without losing value.
Data Storage Fundamentals: Store your data smartly so it’s accessible when you need it.
Finish the Core track, and you’ll earn the Practical Data Skills - Core badge, showing you know your way around the essentials.
What You’ll Tackle in Cribl Advanced
If you're beyond the basics, Cribl Advanced throws you into real-world data mastery: think dynamically masking sensitive info like credit card numbers differently than social security data and routing it all securely, or pinpointing user locations from IP addresses for sophisticated security analysis and behavior insights using GeoIP. We're tackling complex configurations and security scenarios, pushing data enrichment far beyond simple lookups to truly transform your observability pipelines. Cribl Advanced is for experienced users who are ready to go deeper with the Cribl suite. You’ll dig into topics that go beyond configuration and into optimization, security, and deep customization:
Data Formatting for Advanced Users: Gain control over how your data is shaped and structured.
Advanced Data Enrichment with Lookup Tables: Pull in external context to make your data smarter and more useful.
Sensitive Data Handling: Enrich and protect sensitive data in ways that keep compliance teams happy.
Complete this track, and you’ll walk away with the Practical Data Skills - Advanced badge.
What To Expect from the CriblCon25 Campus Experience
This isn’t a listen-as-you-work through your Slack messages and unread emails sort of day. The Campus Experience is interactive and focused. You’ll work through problems that reflect the kinds of challenges data teams face in the real world, guided by not just one instructor, but a team of Cribl experts. There’s plenty of dedicated time to ask questions, deeply engage with multiple instructors who are masters of their craft, and connect with other Cribl users who are just as into this stuff as you are. Our goal is to help you become not just a Cribl expert, but a truly kickass, well-rounded telemetry data guru.
Each track is limited to 50 people, so the classroom stays focused and highly collaborative. That also means you’ll want to register early to lock in your spot and access to this wealth of knowledge."
Pricing and Prerequisites
The Campus Experience is an additional $250 to your CriblCon25 ticket. We're committed to making this accessible, so that small cost is purely to cover the dedicated training venue and keep you energized with meals throughout the day. We're taking care of the rest – the expert instructors, the rad Cribl swag, and your official Skills Badge – all because we want you to get the most out of CriblCon25, and help you conquer your most complex telemetry data challenges.
Before you jump into the Campus Experience, there are a couple of things to check off your list. Some basic knowledge of telemetry data concepts and comfort with a command-line interface will definitely help. This is an interactive training, so the more familiar you are with the basics, the more you’ll get out of the day.
To ensure everyone gets the most out of each track, you’ll also need the right active Cribl Certified credentials:
Cribl Core: Requires the Cribl Certified User certification
Cribl Advanced: Requires both the Cribl Certified User and Cribl Certified Admin - Stream certifications
If you haven’t earned those yet, now’s the time. Getting certified (COST = FREE) ahead of the event ensures you’re ready to hit the ground running when class begins.
Wrap Up
The CriblCon25 Campus Experience provides a dynamic, in-person environment for solidifying your skills and tackling real-world challenges side-by-side with experts and fellow users. This focused, interactive training accelerates your journey from understanding to confident, practical application of the entire Cribl suite. You’ll show up on Tuesday with new skills, more confidence, and a few new friends who also speak fluent telemetry.
