In this episode of Pastries and SREs, we take a sweet dive into one of the most exciting evolutions in observability: enriched logs, also known as wide events. Gone are the days of toggling between tools and stitching together logs, metrics, and traces. Enriched logs consolidate the context, providing everything you need to understand and resolve issues in a single log entry. We explore.

Cribl Search gives you one lens across all your telemetry data no matter where it lives. Instead of forcing teams to move data into one system or jump between tools, you get a familiar pipe based query experience with dashboarding and alerting built in. Storage and query processing stay separate so you decide where your data lives while your users get fast, simple access in one place.

Disconnected pipelines. Unknown data sources. Costs that do not add up. Many teams struggle to answer a simple question. What data do we have and where is it going? In this clip, a Cribl customer explains how bringing all telemetry data together changed everything. With Cribl, their team can finally see what they collect, where it flows, and what it costs. That clarity unlocked smarter reduction, better routing decisions, and major optimization across security and observability workflows.

Customers asked for a simpler way to store and access telemetry data, and Cribl delivered. First came Cribl Lake. Cost effective data storage, flexible access, and identity based authorization instead of infrastructure based access rules. A simple way to retain data at rest and run slow, inexpensive analytics when needed. But the story did not end there.
