The Challenge

Navigate the Data Deluge

Capturing data is difficult in Kubernetes environments. Kubernetes deployments can scale up to thousands of nodes, making monitoring at scale time-consuming. Tracking and troubleshooting infrastructure performance is challenging due to its dynamic qualities. In addition, the lack of standard formatting and limited file access makes the data cumbersome to get into analytics platforms. Teams need a solution that can effectively keep up with the volume, variety, and ephemeral nature of Kubernetes environments.

The Solution

Gain Total Control with Cribl Edge

A highly scalable, vendor-neutral agent designed for today’s sprawling environments

Get started quickly with painless deployment

No more struggling with the complex, time-consuming deployment and configuration of agents to monitor your sprawling Kubernetes environment. Cribl Edge lets you rapidly get simpler and more streamlined visibility with efficient deployment using pre-packaged Helm charts.

Gain access like never before and leave no data behind

Immediately find and retrieve your Kubernetes logs without needing to grant access first for rapid time-to-value. With our Kubelet API approach, you can simply get logs from containers without worrying about varying data formats.

Reduce overhead through centralized management

Cribl Edge provides a modern user experience with a central management and monitoring console, intuitive UI, real-time change validation, and visual configuration authoring. Plus, with Fleet Management you can logically group Edge nodes into fleets to configure and manage them as a unit. That means you no longer have to manually change hosts individually and can upgrade hundreds of thousands at once in a few clicks!

Explore and process with out-of-the-box integrations

Manage large volumes of Kubernetes data by interrogating and shaping data with functions and pipelines at the edge before forwarding it to Cribl Stream or your preferred tool. Use pre-built integrations to conveniently capture Pod logs, generate Kube State Metrics (KSM), retrieve and enrich Kubernetes events, scrape data from Prometheus endpoints, and visualize insights with pre-built Grafana dashboards.

Customer Success Story

Cribl Edge for the Win

We have Cribl Edge installed on all of our test Kubernetes nodes to gather logs and metrics. So far, it’s already a lot easier than deploying the Splunk forwarder. It deploys in five minutes, and then it’s done.”
