SAN FRANCISCO, CA — September 10, 2024 — Cribl, the Data Engine for IT and Security, announced expanded support for Microsoft Azure with the latest release of Cribl Stream, making it easier than ever for Cribl customers globally to manage IT and security data in the cloud. Azure customers can now easily deploy Cribl Stream’s data routing and processing capabilities as a cloud service within Azure, with the flexibility to easily scale their deployment to adapt to their ever-expanding needs.

According to research on IT and security data management trends, there is a clear desire from companies to share data across the broader Azure ecosystem. Azure Event Hubs was the most popular destination and Azure Logs also gained popularity with a 271% increase in usage across the Cribl user base. Processing data, which includes analyzing, collecting, processing, and routing, close to the source is critical for managing latency both on-premises and in the cloud, but expenses and management overhead can quickly add up. Cribl customers already had the ability to self-manage Cribl Stream’s data plane in Azure. Now, they have the flexibility to run Cribl Stream in Azure without the need to install, operate, and maintain their own instance and scale up their deployment instantly from Cribl.Cloud as their needs grow.

“As companies look to simplify managing their telemetry data, they need solutions that work with the tools they increasingly rely on. We continue to see a greater demand for Microsoft Azure both as a market trend and from our customers looking to expand their Azure infrastructure,” said Ledion Bitincka, Co-Founder and CTO at Cribl. “With this release, we’re giving our customers what they need by enabling them to deploy Stream’s data plane capabilities as a service managed by Cribl, easily onboard and process data in Azure—or across clouds—choose their region, and get the benefit of the reduced overhead of a managed cloud service.”

Across its portfolio, Cribl continues to bring enhanced IT and security data management and operational efficiency to customers through rich integrations with the tools and services customers already use. In this release, Cribl Stream also introduces support for DataDog’s Distribution API and ServiceNow Observability, formerly LightStep. Cribl Search adds enhancements to its Snowflake destination for improved performance. Cribl Edge improvements include health status monitoring for nodes and fleets. And Cribl Lake has introduced Hybrid Worker Group support to expand data exploration with the ability to write, replay, and mix and match data workloads.
