Cribl Insights 4.18.0 ​

Cribl Insights 4.18.0 adds custom Monitors, Data Insights map improvements for persistent queues and Output Routers, and enables Insights by default in Cribl.Cloud Government. This release also aligns with platform-wide API and Cribl.Cloud administration updates.

Important Changes ​

Breaking Changes to Sensitive Information in API Responses and the UI ​

API responses for the following endpoints no longer include sensitive information in plaintext:

• /system/settings
• /system/settings/auth
• /lib/database-connections

This affects passwords and password-equivalent attributes such as bindCredentials and client_secret. The values for these attributes are omitted or masked in API responses and in corresponding fields in the UI.

What you need to do:

• Update any automation or scripts that depend on reading these plaintext values from the API responses for these endpoints.
• Plan to provide replacement values for sensitive information in the UI, like connection strings for Database Connections. Do not rely on viewing or copying sensitive information that was previously visible in the UI.

Cribl Insights in Cribl.Cloud Government ​

Cribl Insights is now enabled by default in Cribl.Cloud Government.

New Features ​

Data Insights Map ​

• On the Data Insights map, persistent queue utilization is displayed when a Source or Destination has persistent queue enabled and a Queue size limit configured. Its map card shows a PQ sidecar that plots peak queue usage versus the configured limit over the selected time range. This makes it easier to spot saturated queues, validate PQ sizing, and troubleshoot backpressure without leaving the topology view.
• The Output Router Destination and the Destinations behind it now populate volume and freshness metrics on their map cards.
• The map now handles large graphs more clearly, making dense topologies easier to read and navigate. You can also save preferred filtered views and return to them later, which helps when you repeatedly troubleshoot the same parts of a data flow.

Custom Monitors ​

You can now create custom Monitors. Use them to define your own alert conditions beyond the default monitor set, with a guided builder that lets you choose metrics, filters, grouping, and firing rules to match your environment.

Experience Improvements ​

• In Cribl.Cloud, users with IAM Admin access on Organizations can now manage Connected Environments.
