Platform Engineering: From blind spots to connected dots
Telemetry and tools keep multiplying, but your platform team still fights the same blind spots during every incident. Cribl, the AI Platform for Telemetry, helps PlatEng teams connect signals across clouds and stacks so they can spot issues sooner, resolve them faster, and adopt new tools without months of rework.
The Challenge
Platform, SRE, DevOps, and CloudOps teams are responsible for uptime and performance while telemetry from microservices, clouds, and AI-driven workloads explodes. During incidents, teams waste time chasing missing context instead of fixing the problem, and onboarding a new observability or security tool can feel like a quarter-long project. The result is slower incident resolution, higher toil, and constant tension between reliability and budget.
Cribl centralizes, normalizes, and enriches telemetry across hybrid and multi-cloud. Engineers follow issues end-to-end, from edge to Lake and back into their tools, resolving incidents faster while keeping full-fidelity history in low-cost storage.
Treat telemetry data like an asset, not an afterthought. Cribl turns fragmented observability into a unified telemetry control plane, with Edge at the source, Stream in the pipelines, and Search for high-speed analysis. Platform teams cut noise, keep high-value data hot, and tier data for low-cost, long-term retention to Cribl Lake so they can search and replay on demand without overpaying.
The Solution
Cribl is the AI Platform for Telemetry that gives platform engineering clear, actionable visibility across their environment. By routing, shaping, and searching telemetry from any source to any tool, Cribl helps teams see the full path of a request, understand what changed, and connect symptoms to causes quickly. With better visibility comes reduced MTTR, improved uptime, fewer noisy alerts, and faster tool onboarding (without ripping out what already works.)
Standardize collection and routing with a vendor‑agnostic control plane. Decouple sources from destinations, run best‑of‑breed tools side by side, and swap vendors and AI agents without re‑plumbing. Bridge new and legacy formats so downstream systems keep working while you modernize. Future‑proof your stack and governance without agent sprawl.
Keep high‑value data hot in your tools and tier the rest to low‑cost object storage — then search, define valuable dashboards, and automate investigations with Cribl Investigation Copilot for ad‑hoc analysis or incident response. Remove blind spots, speed MTTI/MTTR, and maintain fidelity without paying premium ingestion for everything.
Empower teams with the ability to ask questions of their telemetry data in their tools of choice. Quickly onboard telemetry with AI-enabled pipeline creation, searching for the telemetry you need to solve problems, and much more.
AI-powered notebooks provide teams the ability to leverage known effective resolution patterns while documenting investigations as they occur. Leverage AI to get things done quickly - AI Investigation Copilot asks the right questions of your telemetry until it finds the insight you’re looking for.
Collect once, send anywhere. Route any source to any destination with granular policies, send data to multiple locations to support migrations, and enforce standards without locking into a single vendor or index.
Filter noise, deduplicate, sample, redact, before data hits your observability tools. Cut volumes by up to 50%, add service context and improve signal‑to‑noise for alerts and dashboards. Feed AI the right data to make it practically operational.
Unified collection for servers, containers, and endpoints with centralized control. Standardize agents and telemetry at the edge to accelerate and simplify operations across complex environments.
Cribl Search gives you insights based on your natural language queries, using the visualizations you want. Cribl Copilot Investigator is an AI-powered investigation assistant for Cribl Search that turns natural-language questions into guided, context-rich investigations across your telemetry.
AI Visibility and Control
AI is driving a new wave of telemetry growth, and most organizations are not set up to manage the cost, complexity, and risk that come with it. Cribl gives Platform Engineering, SRE, DevOps and CloudOps teams centralized control over how telemetry is collected, optimized, governed, routed, stored, and searched so they can build an AI-ready data foundation without adding to the tool sprawl nightmare or slowing the business down.
Cribl helps organizations move faster on AI by giving platform, operations, and engineering teams a shared telemetry foundation built on clean, governed, context-rich data instead of fragmented raw events. That reduces risk, preserves flexibility across existing tools, and positions telemetry as a strategic service that can support new AI workflows without forcing a rip-and-replace of the current stack.
Cribl makes telemetry more useful for AI and the teams that rely on it. By reducing noise, protecting sensitive data, and delivering the right context to the right tools, Cribl helps AI investigate faster, surface better insights, and support more confident decisions, without constant pipeline babysitting.
AI Observability
AI is generating a pile of new telemetry, and most teams can barely see what it’s doing, let alone control it. Cribl helps you capture, route, store, and analyze that AI exhaust so you can see what’s being used, spot risk early, keep costs from soaring, and hold AI initiatives accountable.
Cribl Apps
Platform teams don’t need another generic UI or side project to babysit. They need workflows that fit the way they actually work. Apps on the Cribl platform let Platform Engineering, SRE, DevOps, and CloudOps teams use or build apps for things like APM views, AI observability, troubleshooting, and platform admin workflows on top of the same shared telemetry foundation. Start with an app that already fits, like the Cribl App for AI Observability, or vibe code your own.
