What Is Cribl Stream?
Cribl Stream helps you process machine data – logs, instrumentation data, application data, metrics, etc. – in real time, and deliver them to your analysis platform of choice. It allows you to:
- Add context to your data, by enriching it with information from external data sources.
- Help secure your data, by redacting, obfuscating, or encrypting sensitive fields.
- Optimize your data, per your performance and cost requirements.

Cribl Stream ships in a single, no-dependencies package. It provides a refreshing and modern interface for working with and transforming your data. It scales with – and works inline with – your existing infrastructure, and is transparent to your applications.
Who Is Cribl Stream For?
