In response to the growing challenges faced by businesses in managing and securing their data, Cribl, a leading provider of observability solutions, has announced new features across its product portfolio. These enhancements aim to scale observability across large enterprises, promote interoperability, and provide customizable authorization for greater data accessibility.
As enterprise data continues to grow at a rapid rate, businesses are faced with the daunting task of managing and analyzing this vast amount of information. Currently, most enterprises are using more than 30 different tools to manage and analyze their data, which often leads to disparate systems and fragmented data sources. Additionally, teams across IT and security departments have different needs and requirements for accessing and analyzing data.
To address these challenges, Cribl is introducing key product enhancements that will revolutionize how enterprises manage their data. The first of these enhancements is Cribl Search, which offers expanded search-in-place compatibility. This means that a single search query can now reach from the edge to the data lake and even to tooling data repositories. This expanded compatibility allows organizations to access critical data from various sources without the need for data ingestion, saving time and resources.
Cribl Stream, another product enhancement, focuses on enhanced authorization to provide more users with secure access to the right data. Access control is critical when dealing with sensitive data, and Cribl Stream now features customizable authorization for different levels of access and permission. This empowers enterprises to easily provision different users at different levels of visibility and control, ensuring data integrity and security.
Cribl Stream also introduces new destinations for Azure Sentinel and Azure Data Explorer products, enabling enterprises to onboard both Azure and non-Azure data into Azure Sentinel. This integration further strengthens operational efficiencies and offers a seamless experience for users.
In addition to these enhancements, Cribl Edge introduces the new Prometheus Edge Scraper, designed specifically for Kubernetes environments. This feature allows users to monitor ephemeral containers in Kubernetes more efficiently. Prometheus, a widely used tool for collecting logs and metrics in Kubernetes environments, seamlessly integrates with Cribl Edge, providing users with deeper insights into their Kubernetes environments.
Furthermore, Cribl Edge now supports compressed file monitoring, allowing users to observe and analyze data, regardless of whether the log files are compressed or not. This feature enhances data analysis capabilities and promotes comprehensive observability.
Ledion Bitincka, CTO at Cribl, expressed the company’s dedication to providing customers with greater choice and control over their data. He highlighted the significance of the latest updates and their potential to make observability accessible to more enterprises and teams. Bitincka emphasized that the marquee update of the summer release is the enhancements to Cribl Search, which will be showcased at the upcoming CriblCon conference.
Customers have already shown enthusiasm for these new features. Stuart Bowell, Head of the Global Observability Team at Netbuilder, praised Cribl Search for providing immediate access to all their data. This accessibility has enabled the team to uncover valuable insights from previously inaccessible data sources.
Overall, the new features introduced by Cribl aim to address the ever-increasing challenges faced by enterprises in managing and securing their data. By providing expanded compatibility, enhanced authorization, and purpose-built features for Kubernetes environments, Cribl empowers organizations to unlock the value of their data and accelerate critical processes such as security investigations, performance troubleshooting, and data analysis projects.
