Cribl StreamAI

The challenge

Al adoption is accelerating, but enterprise control isn't keeping pace. As organizations expand Al usage across applications, agents, and teams, they face growing pressure to optimize performance, manage token consumption, and protect sensitive data. Different models excel at different tasks, but selecting the right model while balancing cost, quality, and reliability adds complexity. Without centralized controls, organizations risk unpredictable spending, inconsistent security policies, and fragmented Al infrastructure.

At the same time, Al activity creates a new visibility gap. Usage, performance, and security data often remain isolated in provider dashboards or standalone gateways, disconnected from the enterprise telemetry teams already rely on. Without that context, organizations struggle to attribute Al costs, investigate security risks, troubleshoot failures, and understand how Al activity impacts their broader environment. Adding another gateway or monitoring tool can create yet another silo instead of solving the problem.

The Cribl solution

Cribl StreamAI brings Al inference under one control layer. The enterprise Al gateway centralizes model access, routing, security, and governance across Al applications and providers. Powered by Cribl Al Research Lab benchmarks and custom decision models, smart routing selects models based on quality, cost, performance, and policy, optimized for IT and security workloads. Centralized budgets, usage limits, security guardrails powered by Cribl Guard, and automatic failover help organizations control Al spending, protect sensitive data, and maintain availability.

Unlike standalone Al gateways, Cribl StreamAI brings Al traffic and telemetry together within the Cribl platform. Every Al interaction generates normalized, audit-ready telemetry that becomes available for use across the Cribl platform, including Cribl Stream, Cribl Search, Cribl Lake, and Al-powered apps. By combining Al activity with existing IT and security telemetry, teams can enrich investigations, attribute costs, troubleshoot failures, and power smarter workflows. All while extending the open, scalable Cribl platform they already use, without creating another silo.
