About the Company

Cribl

Data observability platform for logs

Cribl helps tech teams manage and understand their data through data observability. Its two main products, Cribl Stream and Cribl Edge, collect, route, transform, and analyze logs, metrics, and other observability data. Edge gathers real-time data from network edge devices, sending it to Stream or other destinations for processing. Stream routes and transforms data on-premises or in the cloud and forwards it to destinations, with integrations like Office 365 and Microsoft Azure to monitor activity and security. The goal is to give teams real-time visibility into data, improve operational efficiency, and strengthen security by managing data flows and observability insights.
