Types
Supported types of data in Cribl Search.
Every data value (such as the value of an expression, or the parameter to a function) has a type.
The following table lists the types supported by Cribl Search, alongside additional aliases you can use to refer to them.
| Type | Aliases |
|---|---|
bool | boolean |
datetime | date |
double | real, decimal |
dynamic | |
int | long |
string | |
timespan | time |
All types include the special null value, which represents the lack of data or a mismatch of data. For
example, attempting to ingest the string "abc" into an int column results in null.
