Cribl Stream Use Case:
Replay Data From Low-Cost Storage

Keep all the data you might need someday – affordably – for as long as you need it

The Challenge:

The majority of observability data needs to be kept “just in case” – meeting compliance requirements, longer-term, unexpected investigations, or understanding different events’ impact on a customer experience. Keeping this “just in case” data can be very expensive, especially if it’s retained in your analytics tools. You need a way to retain more data, for longer time, without blowing out your infrastructure budget.

The Solution:

Meeting complex compliance requirements, successful security breach forensics, and business scenario analysis all have something in common: they are easiest if you store as much data as possible for as long as possible. But keeping all data in “hot” or even “warm” storage is expensive, especially storage that backs SIEMs and UEBA tools. Stream lets you route a full-fidelity copy of raw data to low-cost storage — and then, with a couple keystrokes, retrieve and “replay” it to analytics tools to answer questions you didn’t predict ahead of time.

Knowing what data you might need ahead of time is impossible, but using Stream means you don’t have to have a crystal ball–keep it all and stream back only what you need, when you find out you need it.
