Stage 1: Streamline & Optimize with Cribl Stream

🚀 Start Smart—Gain Immediate Value

• Deploy Cribl Stream to route, reduce, and transform data.

• Optimize costs by filtering and enriching data before it reaches expensive destinations (Splunk, Elastic, Data Lakes, etc.).

• Gain visibility and control over data flows without disrupting existing pipelines.

Stage 2: Extend Intelligence to the Edge

🌍 Process Data Closer to the Source

• Introduce Cribl Edge to collect, enrich, and route logs directly from endpoints and remote locations.

• Reduce reliance on heavy forwarders while improving security and operational efficiency.

• Gain real-time observability at scale, ensuring only relevant data is forwarded to your chosen destinations.

Stage 3: Centralize & Store with Cribl Lake

🏞 Retain More, Spend Less

• Store full-fidelity logs in Cribl Lake, an open, cost-effective alternative to traditional SIEM or log storage.

• Keep high-value data accessible for longer retention periods without expensive indexing.

• Enable security and IT teams to store once, route anywhere, optimizing data flexibility.

Stage 4: Search Anywhere – On-Demand Insights

🔎 Query Data in Motion or at Rest

• Use Cribl Search to analyze live-streaming data or query historical logs in Cribl Lake—without rehydrating or indexing.

• Accelerate incident response and forensic investigations while reducing SIEM ingestion costs.

• Empower teams to search data in place, avoiding unnecessary data ingestion.

Why Take This Journey?
