Cribl Lake

Cribl Lake is centrally managed in the Cribl.Cloud portal UI and is available to all Cloud users. If you use Worker Groups connected to a Cloud Leader — for instance a self-managed Hybrid Worker Group on-prem or in your own cloud — you are able to write directly to Cribl Lake.

Cribl Lake supports both JSON and Parquet data formats. By default, data is stored as JSON documents, which are compressed using gzip. Events include the _raw field, allowing you to access the original data if needed.

We recently introduced dynamic schema support for Parquet. This format enhances performance for those who prefer to use a Dataset for analytical queries, rather than solely for long-term retention. Our goal is to simplify the process for customers by handling schema complexities, so you can focus on your data without worrying about schema management.

Cribl Lake offers permission settings based on users' role at the product-level, including Admin, Editor, and Read Only roles. You can control who can view and access Cribl Lake Datasets directly through the ‘Share’ menu in Cribl Search. We plan to expand capabilities so you will be able to manage Dataset access directly from the Cribl Lake UI, providing even more control over your data.

If you need to control who can write to specific Datasets within Cribl Lake, you can use Cribl Stream’s Projects to manage access, and ensure only authorized users are able to write to designated destinations.

In Cribl Lake, all your data is securely encrypted at rest, whether stored in your Cloud workspace or in your own cloud account. Cribl uses server-side encryption (SSE-S3) as the base level of protection, provided at no additional cost and with no impact on performance.

Each piece of data is encrypted with a unique key, which is further protected by a root key that is regularly rotated for added security. Cribl uses the 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256) to encrypt your data, one of the strongest encryption methods available, ensuring that your information remains safe and secure.

Cribl Lake follows Cribl’s flexible cloud consumption pricing so you only pay for what you use. You start by purchasing a pool of credits, which are then deducted as you store data in Cribl Lake. If you opt for Cribl-managed storage, you will be billed monthly at a rate of 0.05 credits per GB of stored data, with $1 = 1 credit. Billing is based on the total compressed data volume stored in Cribl Lake, not the raw volume of data sent to Cribl Lake.
