This is the "Cribl: The Good Bits" version of a webinar we gave recently, which combined the fermented educational joy of a beer tasting led by Gabe Callahan; and the only-slightly-less-intoxicating demos of the Cribl platform, led by Principal Technical Marketing Engineer Leon Adato.

In this episode, Leon explores some of the new features, functions, updates, and improvements in release 4.18 (from last month) and 4.18.2. For more information, check out these links.

Learn what it’s like to work as an engineer at Cribl, a remote-first company building the AI platform for IT and security data. In this recruiting video, Cribl’s engineering and support leaders share how fully distributed teams collaborate, solve hard data problems, and grow their careers while working from around the world. You’ll hear from managers and leaders in site reliability engineering, security incubation, and technical support about.

This video introduces the new REST Collector Diagnostics feature in Cribl, which helps you troubleshoot API collection issues faster. It’s designed for observability and data engineers who use REST Collector to pull data from external APIs and need deeper visibility into HTTP requests, responses, and errors.

Learn how to install and configure the Cribl Search Pack for Zscaler, then walk through prebuilt dashboards for your Zscaler security logs. This video is for security engineers, Zscaler administrators, and SOC/observability teams using Cribl Search to monitor and investigate Zscaler activity. In this walkthrough, you’ll see: If you need a reminder or want to share feedback on the pack, you can always refer to the README bundled with the pack or reach out to the Cribl team.

I recently sat down with Simon Overbey and Lovepreet Singh - the Engineering Manager and systems engineer (respectively) at Getty Images to talk about their experiences implementing Cribl. After getting a rundown of the pre-Cribl environment (described above) I asked to jump straight to the end, the net benefits. If the "before" was a terrifying tidal wave of cost and complexity, what did the "after" look like?

You already use Cribl to tame your telemetry data. Now you can turn that data into apps your teams actually want to use. In this video, we walk through how to create apps in the Cribl Platform and show how real apps solve real problems: guided troubleshooting for noisy incidents, opinionated security views, and exec-friendly ROI dashboards. You’ll see how apps sit on top of Cribl Stream, Edge, Search, and Lake, so you reuse the data and logic you already have instead of building custom tools from scratch.

See how Bring Your Own Storage (BYOS) in Cribl Lake allows teams to connect directly to Azure Blob Storage and instantly search data in place — without moving, duplicating, or rehydrating telemetry. In this demo, Cribl Product Manager Risk Salsa walks through setup, dataset creation, and how to run fast investigations across your Azure-hosted data using Cribl Search.

The wait is over for Azure-first organizations. Cribl just launched Cribl Lake Bring Your Own Storage (BYOS) for Microsoft Azure, giving you full data lake power without moving a single byte of telemetry out of your environment. Join us to see how you can finally get the flexibility of a modern data lake while keeping your data in Azure.

In this episode, Leon explores a bunch of BYO (bring your own) enhancements to Cribl including the ability to bring your own AI model, storage, and more.
