Cribl Edge™
Your not-so-secret agent for vendor-neutral, unified telemetry collection.
In a nutshell
Cribl Edge is a vendor-neutral, intelligent agent built for the variety and scale of modern architectures. With unified telemetry data collection, you can manage hundreds of thousands of agents from one place and automatically discover and collect telemetry data from your Windows, Linux, macOS, and Kubernetes environments.
With a rich UI, centralized fleet management, and seamless upgrades, you can finally treat agent management like a product, not a never-ending project.
Benefits
The telemetry data collection tools that got you to 2025 aren’t going to get you to 2034. It’s time for hyper-scale agent management.
Drop the hodgepodge of vendor-specific legacy agents and piecemeal forwarders. Use one modern, vendor-neutral agent instead.
Stop doing one-off, manual upgrades and configs on every host. Make changes in a few clicks and roll them out to entire fleets from a single UI.
Bring order to distributed infrastructure. Deploy and monitor thousands of nodes in days, not weeks.
Access telemetry directly from any Windows, Linux, macOS, or Kubernetes environment — without waiting on permissions or changes from other teams.
Search and “teleport” into nodes with an interactive experience so you can troubleshoot and get real visibility at the edge.
Customer Success
Features
Deploy and manage up to 250,000 nodes with built-in fleet management to cut operational overhead.
Centrally configure, monitor, and upgrade fleets in minutes, without relying on endpoint owners.
Keep costs in check by interrogating data at the source before you decide what to send to a central location.
Collect many data types from many sources: Windows event logs, Linux metrics, Kubernetes logs, and more.
Use advanced processing to shape telemetry at the edge for ultimate customizability.
Eliminate redundant collection and avoid vendor lock-in with out-of-the-box integrations that route data to your preferred destinations.
Remove guesswork with real-time change validation and autodiscovery.
Cut troubleshooting time by teleporting into any Edge node for a detailed view.
Apply updates and patches in minutes, not weeks, using just a few keystrokes.
Free up engineering time with a visual UI to build pipelines and changes instead of hand-rolled configs.
Capabilities
Efficiently gather and auto-discover log data at its source. Automatically identify and collect logs and metrics from endpoints like servers, containers, and applications.
Monitor, manage, and configure thousands of agents from a single, centralized console. Use visual configuration authoring and version control, all built to scale.
Deploy on your platform of choice and collect data from any Linux, macOS, Windows, or container system. Forward only the data you need to the destinations you choose.
Teleport into a node to directly explore metric and log data, whether collected via autodiscovery or manual configuration. Use that view to troubleshoot and do root-cause analysis.
Skip the pain of configuring Fluent Bit/Fluentd. Use pre-packaged Helm charts so Cribl Edge deploys easily and gives you deeper visibility into Kubernetes environments.
Cribl Edge is built with Windows environments in mind. Get an easy experience and native integrations for exploring and collecting Windows events, logs, and metrics.
Differentiators
Agnostic data collection
Use a vendor-neutral agent that unifies collection across your ecosystem, so you stop juggling vendor-specific collectors and forwarders.
Purpose-built for IT and Security teams
Centrally manage and control telemetry at the edge with modern, efficient agent management designed for your teams.
Supports unprecedented scale
Collect data from hundreds of thousands of endpoints while minimizing overhead and downtime during upgrades.
Adapts to your evolving environment
Deploy in Windows, Linux, macOS, Docker, or Kubernetes with a flexible, intelligent agent that future-proofs your data collection strategy.
FAQ
Integrations
Run searches directly on endpoints so you can analyze edge data in place — no data migration required. Set up real-time alerting with these searches to improve MTTR.
Use Cribl Edge to collect host data and do lightweight processing using spare endpoint capacity. Then send that data to Stream for heavier processing. Data ingestion in Cribl is billed once, so you’re not double-charged in Stream.
Send data directly from Cribl Edge to Lake to store it securely in open formats. Make endpoint data easily accessible, usable, and valuable.
