We use Cribl for data normalization, which involves standardizing data from various sources before sending it to a SIEM. This helps reduce costs associated with SIEM ingestion. Additionally, we use Cribl to sanitize data by removing or masking sensitive information from certain fields.
In this particular situation, we use Cribl to deploy data to various destinations. My role is to create and analyze data and deploy it to the appropriate location required by the organization. I also monitor data to manipulate or adjust it as needed. Additionally, we use it to amend or remove some lookup in the data or to add some phrases, ensuring it meets the organization's requirements. Overall, we use it for daily data management activities.

I use Cribl to ingest logs from different platforms. These logs could come from sources like Mimecast, Windows, or CrowdStrike logs. It acts as a pipeline to send data to our destinations and also helps in reducing the amount of logs sent by applying different functions on them.

We were one of the first customers when Cribl launched. Around 10% to 20% of Cribl had already been implemented when I joined. My role involved expanding it to 100% of our incoming logs being processed through Cribl. Our primary use case was to collect logs from various cloud sources. We also planned to migrate and optimize our usage, as we now handle a significant volume, about 15 TB, with enterprise licensing. Cribl played a crucial role in reducing costs and improving efficiency, though we’re still fully realizing those benefits. We have now implemented Cribl as our primary log collection endpoint. We use it alongside Splunk, aiming to reduce licensing costs while taking advantage of Cribl's streamlined log collection features. Once Cribl is fully integrated, we plan to segregate data—moving less critical logs, like test and non-production logs, to open-source solutions to further reduce licensing costs. In our hybrid environment, with enterprise and open-source tools, Cribl has simplified the process. We've successfully used it to migrate our enterprise logs to the cloud, and this migration is ongoing. Cribl has been instrumental in ensuring that these changes do not disrupt our production systems and has made the migration between different log management tools, including Splunk and others like Microsoft Sentinel or Datadog, much smoother.

We use Cribl for multiple purposes. One key use is migration to Splunk Cloud. Traditionally, we used Splunk as an intermediate forwarder but switched to Cribl for this role. Cribl collects and sends the logs directly to the cloud, forwarding all data to Splunk Cloud. Another advantage is the ability to extract only the necessary data visually rather than handling it in Splunk's Props. You can see the changes you're making and directly onboard specific logs, avoiding the need to onboard all data. Additionally, Cribl offers other valuable features. For instance, you can replay data from an edge device, store your daily data in a stream, and replay specific event data into Splunk if a security incident occurs. This targeted replay allows for analysis without onboarding all data into Splunk, providing a significant cost-saving benefit.
Cribl optimizes log collection, data processing, and migration to Splunk Cloud, ensuring efficient data ingestion and management for improved operational efficiency.
Cribl offers seamless log collection directly from cloud sources, allowing users to visually extract necessary data and replay specific events for in-depth analysis. It provides robust management of events, parsing, and enrichment of data, along with effective log size reduction. Cribl is particularly beneficial for...
