Where we came from
Our Story
Cribl was founded to solve a simple but painful problem: telemetry was exploding, but the tools to manage and search it were rigid, expensive, and siloed. IT and Security teams were forced to choose between visibility and cost, and every investigation meant jumping between fragmented systems and more vendor lock‑in.
We started by giving customers a better way to route and shape telemetry, so they could keep more data, send it to the right places, and stay in control of their strategy. That quickly evolved into a broader vision: build the vendor‑agnostic telemetry platform for the AI era—one that makes every signal searchable and usable for investigations, wherever it lives.
Today, as AI transforms how organizations work, that vision matters more than ever. Telemetry is the signal for practitioners, the fuel for agents, and the foundation for next‑generation operations and investigations. Cribl is here to make sure that telemetry is portable, interoperable, and searchable at AI scale, so our customers can investigate faster and build what’s next.

FAQs
What is Cribl?
Cribl is the AI Platform for Telemetry, a vendor‑agnostic telemetry fabric that gives enterprises the choice, control, and flexibility to manage and analyze observability and security data for both humans and AI agents, with no lock‑in, no data loss, and no compromises.
What does Cribl do?
Cribl provides a telemetry engine that is the heart of your organization’s machine data infrastructure — simplifying the collection, processing, routing, analysis, and storage of logs, metrics, traces, and events so they’re ready for observability, security, and custom applications. As enterprises shift to AI- and agent-operated systems, Cribl provides the abstraction layer that lets humans and agents ask complex questions of your operational data, automate investigations, and unlock the value of all your data, without ever being locked into a single tool or data store. Its product suite includes Cribl Stream to route, reduce, and reshape telemetry from any source to any destination, Cribl Edge to intelligently collect and process data at the edge, Cribl Lake to store, access, and replay telemetry, and Cribl Search to analyze data across object stores, streaming platforms, and traditional tools without re‑indexing or moving it.
Who is Cribl for?
Cribl is built for IT, Security, and platform engineering teams at large and complex organizations, including many of the world’s largest enterprises and roughly half of the Fortune 100, who need to keep telemetry open, portable, and AI‑ready across hybrid, multi‑cloud, and edge environments.
What are the top 3 problems that Cribl solves?
Runaway telemetry cost and complexity as data volumes explode across observability, security, and AI workloads.
Slow, fragmented investigations caused by scattered telemetry across tools and tiers, forcing analysts to pivot between systems instead of running one search across all their data.
Vendor lock‑in and inflexibility that make it hard to change tools, adopt new AI capabilities, or modernize infrastructure at the organization’s own pace.
Why do companies use Cribl?
Companies use Cribl to take control of their telemetry strategy: they control observability and security data costs while increasing coverage, accelerate investigations and incident response with broader and cleaner datasets, and unlock new analytics and AI use cases without rewriting their entire stack. Cribl helps them bridge the gap between AI ambition and infrastructure reality by keeping telemetry open, portable, and interoperable for both human practitioners and AI agents.
