Meet your Telemetry Copilot
Welcome to the Cribl Copilot demo. Today, we're showing you how Cribl's AI assistant works alongside your team as a true Copilot - amplifying your experts' capabilities rather than replacing them. This collaborative approach keeps humans in the loop for critical decisions while accelerating routine tasks. Your Copilot assists with transforming logs, creating visualizations, and simplifying queries so your team can focus on analysis and decision-making.
Here's what you'll see your Copilot assist with:
Raw Log to OCSF Transformation: Your Copilot suggests transformations that you review and deploy
Instant Dashboard Visualization: Your Copilot drafts visualizations based on your requirements that you can refine
NLP to Kusto Query Conversion: Your Copilot translates your plain English questions into technical queries for your approval
By the end of this demo, you'll see how this human-AI collaboration accelerates your team's work while keeping your experts in control of the process and final decisions. Let's see how this partnership works.
Lets hop into Stream.
Bean Collectors
Like coffee connoisseurs searching for the perfect beans, at Cribl Coffee Co. we need to collect all our data sources. For this demo, we're focusing on VPC flow logs and PAN traffic to showcase how our Copilot Editor works.
Right now in this environment, most of our sources are going to devnull because they aren't prioritized, but our VPC flow logs and PAN traffic go to our low-cost object storage Lake, which we'll explore later.
Let's brew something special with this data!
Fresh-Brewed Insights
Our new Copilot Editor is like having a master barista at your fingertips - it helps you craft perfect data transformations with minimal effort.
Hello, Brew Master!
When working with our Copilot Editor, Copilot:
Selected an existing sample from vpc-flow-logs
Let's continue brewing and see what our new teammate has prepared for us.
Premium Blend Pipeline
We've just gathered events from our source. Let's see how our Copilot will transform these logs, like turning raw beans into a perfect espresso.
Our Copilot has analyzed the logs and the OCSF schema, recommending "Network Activity OCSF" as the optimal blend for this data.
Plans better than the Michelin Guide
At Cribl Coffee Co., our engineers used to spend days writing complex parsing rules to transform raw logs, like baristas manually sorting beans. With the Cribl Copilot, we started a conversation that accelerates that process.
Looking on the right, we have a pipeline plan ready for creation. The plan is completely editable, so before confirming, make sure it meets your specific blend requirements.
Looks great to me. Let's see what this brew produces by hitting next.
Extreme Makeover Pipeline Edition
Our pipeline plan has put 2 functions in our pipeline:
Regex extract to extract the fields
Eval to transform into structured fields and route unmapped fields into a new object.
After review, your engineer can approve, tweak, or scrap the suggestion. This human-in-the-loop approach ensures quality control like a coffee taster sampling before approving a blend for production.
We should re-order the sequence of functions. Lets move numerify after the Eval function.
Everything looks good now, we'll select "Approve Pipeline"
Copilot Results
On the right side you'll see our sample logs transformed into the structured format, like raw beans transformed into a perfectly roasted blend ready for brewing. The Copilot has extracted and organized the data while keeping you in control of the final product.
Teamwork makes the dreamwork
We just added our new pipeline we created to QC and now our data is being transformed and directed to our default destination - just like how our baristas at Cribl Coffee Co. prepare beans before sending them to our stores.
Let's explore what other tasks our Copilot can help with, like brewing up insights from our data.
Search for the Perfect Brew
At Cribl Coffee Co., finding the right data is like finding the perfect coffee bean - it takes expertise and the right tools. Let's see how our Copilot can help us find exactly what we need.
Let them Cook
When Cribl Coffee Co. expanded from a single shop to 100 stores globally, our data analysts needed to quickly visualize trends across our operations. Instead of spending hours handcrafting dashboards like we used to hand-roast small coffee batches, they now collaborate with the Copilot.
Our analyst specifies: "I need a dashboard showing VPC flow trends by region that highlights unusual patterns" - similar to requesting a specific coffee blend. The co-pilot creates a draft dashboard based on these requirements that our expert can then refine to perfection.
With the visualize button, it generates ready-to-use dashboards faster than we can brew an espresso. Let's see it in action!
From What to Wow
This isn't autonomous generation - it's a starting point that leverages the Copilot's understanding of visualization best practices while waiting for our analyst's expert input. Our team can quickly identify patterns across our global operations without getting bogged down in dashboard construction.
Fresh-Brewed Visualizations
Who doesn't love fresh insights for your data? Using our Copilot's visualization capabilities, we've just created a new dashboard in seconds. Our Copilot has outdone itself - like when our master barista creates the perfect latte art.
Before we finish, let's explore how the Copilot helps with natural language to Kusto queries.
From Natural Language to Kusto
Let's try a simple search query. I want to see all the rejected connections in our VPC flow logs - these are like customers who couldn't get into our Cribl Coffee shops because their payment was declined.
Our Copilot will help translate this everyday request into a precise technical query that our systems understand.
Serving up results
Our Copilot has helped translate our natural language request into a precise Kusto query, allowing us to quickly find exactly what we need - like having a barista who knows exactly what you want when you ask for "the usual."
NLP to Kusto
Security is crucial at Cribl Coffee Co. as we process customer data across our global operations. Our security analyst needs to investigate potential unauthorized access but isn't familiar with Kusto query syntax. They collaborate with the co-pilot through conversation. The analyst asks: "I need to find rejected connections to production servers in the last 24 hours." The Copilot translates this into a draft Kusto query. This human-AI collaboration bridges the gap between what our analyst needs to know and the technical query required to find that information. When investigating potential security issues in our e-commerce platform, this capability helps us respond faster and more effectively.
Now the you're acquainted with your teammate
The Cribl Copilot transforms how Cribl Coffee Co. works with data by turning every employee into an expert log wrangler - just like how our training turns new hires into skilled baristas.
Democratizes expertise by making advanced data skills accessible to all team members.Accelerates work by providing draft transformations, visualizations, and queries.
Keeps humans in control with review and approval at every step
Bridges skill gaps so everyone can work like our most experienced engineers
Combines AI efficiency with human judgment for better results
Our Copilot elevates everyone's capabilities - from novices to experts - while maintaining the critical human oversight that ensures quality. Junior team members can perform like seasoned pros, while our experts can focus on innovation rather than routine tasks. Together, human and AI collaboration turns everyone into an expert log wrangler capable of extracting maximum value from our data.
As we've grown from a small Albanian coffee shop to a global operation with our stock ticker (GOAT) on major exchanges, this capability has been essential to scaling our data operations without proportionally scaling our technical team.
