You just wanted to get some work done…
Whether you are at work or at home, interruptions (in the form of issues and outages) impact our productivity and the normal flow of our day. Getting back to work requires us to solve whatever issue cropped up quickly, and doing that requires information. IT practitioners - from sysadmins to security to everyone in-between, face 2 common challenges when they start:
How to quickly and painlessly gather all the required data.
How to investigate faster, finding threats and identifying root causes in less time and with greater accuracy..

Context is King
Data without context is a distraction. Placing key information side by side lets you understand how they affect or interact.
But something is clearly wrong here. That 19% Customer impact is too low. Or is it too high? Regardless, it’s red, so we should click into it to find out what’s going on.

Transform Data into Information
This is where Cribl Copilot stops being a simple LLM wingmate and actually takes the wheel, driving the investigation. First looking for relevant Jira tickets.
And let that information drive action
And running queries that provide additional details.
REMINDER: This screen is interactive. Don't let the "Next" button control your life. Scroll around. Check out the responses. Learn and grow.
Cribl Copilot walks through the process of investigating the issue the same way you might. Step by step, analyzing results, building theories, and using that input to determine what to check next.
For a quick resolution.
With this information in hand, we’re able to rapidly respond by performing the right actions in the right part of the infrastructure...
…and continue monitoring to ensure our changes fixed the issue and didn’t create any unintended downstream consequences.
Cribl continues to develop capabilities that allow you to quickly deal with interruptions and get back to real work. It also enables your entire team to be more effective even if they aren’t (yet) a master of their data universe.

We all get stuck sometimes
Sometimes you hit the proverbial wall, and don’t know what to try next.
For that, Cribl Copilot provides "Guided Exploration," suggesting the next logical step in your hunt. It helps you surface hidden patterns and "unknown unknowns" by automatically correlating disparate data points, ensuring you never hit a dead end in your investigation.
Life (and Tech) isn’t always simple
Investigations aren't always linear. Nor can they always be resolved in a single sitting (or even a single week), or by a single person. Notebooks keep track of what you’ve done, when you did it, and what it looked like so you can refer back, share it, collaborate on it, - whether that’s in an hour, a week, or even a year.
Before the Investigation
But the start of the investigation isn’t the start of the story. It’s impossible to have any of this - dashboards, alerts, insights, etc - without a steady flow of telemetry.
Even today, getting the right data into observability tools requires manual parsing, regex expertise, stupid database tricks, and constant maintenance. This creates a bottleneck unless you have the right people with the right institutional knowledge and the right skills who are available at the right time. If you don’t, critical data is missing or lost because it’s too difficult to onboard or too expensive to keep.
And before you say it, AI isn’t always making things better. In fact, the sheer volume of telemetry generated by LLMs and agentic tools is only increasing the challenge. Sometimes exponentially.
Cribl gets you past this challenge by first making it click-button simple to ingest new data;
And then automatically makes that data searchable and AI-ready. Automated data discovery and intelligent schema mapping parses data so it's structured and normalized instantly and flowing inbound in minutes, not days.
Whether it’s VPC Flow Logs, application traces, or security events, Cribl ensures your telemetry is centralized and ready for investigation at scale.
Plain talk, clear answers
Cribl Copilot also translates intent into queries. This creates a “force multiplier” effect, allowing less skilled individuals and teams to investigate with the speed and precision of a veteran.
Back to the beginning, Back to (real) work.
Having the ability to quickly onboard, enrich, shape, and focus information allows you to quickly assemble and update dashboards and other sources of insight.
