Apps
The barrier to build has never been lower.
Code is cheap. Infrastructure is not. Build and use custom apps on top of Cribl’s shared telemetry foundation for fast, secure, scalable workflows.
In a nutshell
Every team works differently. Your tools should adapt—not force you to adapt. Apps give teams the flexibility to build, discover, and use custom experiences on top of a shared telemetry foundation. With AI-assisted development and direct access to data and APIs, you can quickly create new workflows or tap into existing apps purpose-built for your needs.
The best part? No need to build the underlying infrastructure for every new app or agent. Powered by a governed platform with federated search, RBAC, and enterprise controls built in, Cribl makes it fast and easy to turn ideas into reality.
Benefits
Create & use custom apps and workflows without spending time managing the underlying infrastructure.
Enjoy tailored experiences, interfaces, visualizations, and workflow-fit experiences that cater to how your teams actually work.
Use Cribl’s existing RBAC, access controls, and governance guardrails without recreating them for every app or environment.
Extend workflows across teams and use cases on top of the same data foundation.
Reduce the need for separate tooling and lower the cost of managing telemetry growth, investigations, and platform sprawl.
Features
Move from idea to live app in hours
Eliminate engineering bottlenecks: Replace slow, bespoke development cycles with a fast and easy way to build apps directly on top of Cribl.
Build with familiar, modern tooling: Use standard web technologies with AI-assisted development, scaffolding, and live preview to speed up iteration and reduce complexity.
Ship faster with direct access to Cribl APIs: Connect immediately to Cribl capabilities and all your data without building and maintaining custom integration layers.
Help users get what they need faster: Turn tribal knowledge and ad-hoc runbooks into repeatable experiences that anyone with the right access can follow.
Lower the barrier to building: With modern, AI-assisted coding tools, you can describe what you want, scaffold an app, and iterate without deep frontend expertise.
Build workflows that actually fit how your team works.
Go beyond generic apps: Move beyond vendor-defined apps that are too generic for real-world operational needs.
Start with ready-to-use apps: Choose from a curated library of apps to quickly extend Cribl with pre-built experiences, workflows, and solutions—or customize them to fit your needs. Library coming soon ;)
Tailored interfaces and workflows: Create custom interfaces, workflows, and visualizations on top of trusted data and Cribl APIs.
Eliminate one-off tooling: Reduce workarounds by enabling fit-for-purpose apps on a shared telemetry foundation.
No extra app stacks: Empower each team with the exact workflow they need without standing up disconnected application stacks.
Create domain-specific experiences: Tailor interfaces for specific teams or use cases (for example, security operations, compliance, or infrastructure troubleshooting) while still using common telemetry foundation.
Maintain control as telemetry and AI complexity grows.
Eliminate blind spots: Reduce gaps caused by fragmented tools, rising telemetry volumes, and AI-driven workloads.
Unify control across data: Extend governed telemetry across collection, storage, and analysis without losing consistency.
Enforce policy at scale: Apply governance, access controls, and routing rules across all teams and workflows.
Enable safe expansion: Let teams build apps on shared telemetry while preserving enterprise-wide standards and oversight.
Capabilities
Build applications directly within the Cribl platform instead of separate standalone tools. Cribl provides the telemetry foundation, APIs, and search capabilities apps need—without copying data, rebuilding pipelines, or maintaining disconnected application stacks.
Create custom apps, interfaces, and visualizations designed around the way your teams actually work. With access to data and APIs, teams can deliver purpose-built workflows without forcing users into rigid, vendor-defined experiences.
Accelerate app creation with AI-powered development capabilities, including scaffolding, OpenAPI access, and live previews. Teams can quickly prototype, iterate, and deliver useful applications without starting every project from scratch—scaling app development across more teams without adding infrastructure, point tools, or operational overhead.
Build and run apps with enterprise-grade controls, including RBAC, permissions, and policy enforcement. Apps inherit Cribl’s governance model, ensuring teams can innovate while maintaining security and operational guardrails.
Manage the entire app lifecycle from creation to deployment, upgrades, and removal within the Cribl platform. Teams can package, distribute, and maintain apps with the same easy and consistency as other Cribl platform capabilities.
Combine capabilities across Cribl Stream, Edge, Search, and Lake to create unified app experiences. Teams can connect collection, routing, analysis, and storage workflows into purpose-built solutions on a single telemetry foundation.
