The SIEM market attracts attention for a variety of reasons. First, it is dominated by a number of large players but there are a range of smaller companies vying for market share. It is also a market generally accessible to new entrants. There’s always a new company pitching a different spin on SIEM, whether it’s a new architectural model in the cloud, faster analytics from running on a third-party data warehouse, or leaning into new, undefined terms like a security data fabric.

Integrations are the bread and butter of building vendor-agnostic software here at Cribl. The more connections we provide, the more choice and control customers have over their unique data strategy. Securing these integrations has challenges, but a new class of integrations is creating new challenges and testing existing playbooks: large language models. In this blog, we are going to explore why these integrations matter, investigate an example integration, and build a strategy to secure it.

In modern IT environments, logging has become an integral part of application development and operations. Logs, metrics, and traces allow organizations to alert on events, monitor performance, and troubleshoot issues effectively. However, as applications scale and generate an increasing volume of logs year over year, managing them efficiently becomes a daunting task for engineering teams and budget makers.

The more customers I talk to, the more I see a trend toward wanting a low-cost vendor-agnostic data lake. Customers want the freedom to store their data long-term and typically look to object stores from AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. To optimize for data access, users will partition their data into directories to optimize for use cases such as Cribl Replay and Cribl Search. Only relevant files will be accessed for rehydration or search by partitioning data.

In today’s digital era, data has become an integral part of every organization. The exponential growth of data continues to accelerate, with projections indicating a compound annual growth rate of 28% for data creation. While this surge in data presents vast opportunities, it also brings substantial challenges in terms of management and value extraction. This is where the concept of a data engine comes in. It serves as the core of your data infrastructure, functioning like a central nervous system.

Cloud migration has become a crucial strategy for businesses aiming to capitalize on scalability, flexibility, and cost-saving opportunities. As organizations transition from traditional data centers to cloud infrastructure, these companies can access advanced cloud services, enhance operational efficiency, and ensure seamless data and application management. However, cloud migration challenges can be difficult to solve.

How do you get the data out of your infrastructure and applications in order to properly observe, monitor, and secure their running states while minimizing overlap, wasted resources, and cost? Many business folks need a broad category of tools in all their environments to solve challenges such as up and down monitoring, metrics, a time series database (TSDB), log analytics, event streaming, security information and event management (SIEM), user behavior analytics (UBA), and data lakes. The answer to the proposed question to solve these hurdles is using an observability pipeline.

Observability allows you to understand the behavior of applications and infrastructure from the data they produce.

The observability market is changing quickly. Rushing into a monolithic observability product limits your future options by locking you in to a single vendor.

Route observability data where it has the most value. Slash costs, improve performance, and get the right data to the right destinations, in the right formats, at the right time.

Cribl is a company built to solve customer challenges and enable customer choice. Its solutions deliver innovative and customizable controls to route security and machine data where it has the most value. We call this an observability pipeline, and it helps slash costs, improve performance, and get the right data, to the right destinations, in the right formats, at the right time.

LogStream Gives You The Simplicity, Flexibility, and Control...

  • To Route Your Data: Send data to the most effective destinations including low-cost storage locations like S3 for long-term retention. Route data to the best tool for the job – or all the tools for the job – by translating and formatting data into any tooling schema you require. Let different departments choose different analytics environments without having to deploy new agents or forwarders.
  • To Reduce Your Data: Reduce as much as 50% of ingested log volume to control costs and improve system performance. Eliminate duplicate fields, null values, and any elements that provide little analytical value. Filter and screen events for dynamic sampling, or aggregate log data into metrics for massive volume reduction. Do all of this without worry: You can keep a full-fidelity copy in a low-cost destination and replay it back if needed.
  • To Collect More Data: LogStream is the best way to get multiple data formats into your analytics tools. Use the LogStream universal receiver to collect from any observability data source – and even to schedule batch collection from multiple APIs. In addition, recall data from low-cost storage to replay logs to analytics tools for later investigations with ad-hoc data collection.
  • To Shape Your Data: Shape all of the data you need to drive decisions about your environment. Translate and transform data from all of your sources to the tools you choose. Get a more complete picture of your data by enriching logs with third-party data. LogStream collects data from all of your sources and shapes it into actionable logs and metrics for analysis.

Cribl’s mission is to unlock the value of all your observability data, regardless of source or destination.
