Enterprises are getting increasingly tired of feeling locked into vendors, and rightfully so. As soon as you put your observability data into a SaaS vendors’ storage, it’s now their data, and it’s difficult to get it out or reuse it for other purposes. As a result, strategic independence is becoming increasingly important as organizations decide what data management tools they’re going to invest time and resources into.
Log events come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Some are delivered as a single event per line. Others are delivered as multi-line structures. Some come in as a stream of data that will need to be parsed out. Still, others come in as an array that should be split into discrete entries. Because Cribl Stream works on events one at a time, we have to ensure we are dealing with discrete events before o11y and security teams can use the information in those events.
Since day one, Cribl has been on a mission to give users more control and more value from their observability and security data. We had a feeling that putting customers first would be the key to unlocking that value, so “Customers First, Always” went at the top of the list when the time came to talk about company values.
Avoiding vendor lock-in is a ‘must’ when it comes to working with new services. Those in ITOps, DevOps, or as an SRE also don’t want to be tied to specific vendors when it comes to their telemetry data. And that’s why OpenTelemetry’s popularity has surged lately. OpenTelemetry prevents you from being locked into specific vendors for the agents that collect your data.
We’re excited to announce an expanded partnership with CrowdStrike and introduce CrowdStream, a powerful new native platform capability that enables customers to seamlessly connect any data source to the CrowdStrike Falcon platform.
Do you want to confidently move workloads to the cloud without dropping or losing data? Of course, everyone does. But easier said than done. Cloud migration is tricky. There’s so much to think through and so much to worry about — how can you reconfigure architectures and data flows to ensure parity and visibility? How do you know the data in transit is safe and secure? How can you get your job done without getting in trouble with procurement?
