In modern network systems, managing data flow efficiently is critical, especially when dealing with high volumes of log data. One common challenge for IT teams is the bottleneck caused by Syslog TCP pinning, where a limited number of persistent TCP connections lead to throughput inefficiencies. This blog explores the concept of TCP pinning in depth, discussing its implications on network performance and detailing strategies to alleviate these bottlenecks through innovative load balancing techniques.

We know endpoints can be endless and that you need an efficient, simple way to collect data from all of them— no matter the size of your environment. This is why, in the 4.7 release, our engineering team has worked hard to expand Cribl Edge’s scalability to support 250,000 Edge nodes!!!

Data storage has come a long way. It’s impossible to imagine having to search racks of tape reels for specific datasets, and the same is happening for archival storage. This type of storage is very low cost, but the tradeoff is the data isn’t readily available, often requiring 24 hours or more to convert, thaw, and be in a usable format. But what if you could have your cake and eat it, too? Low-cost archival storage AND instant access to your data?

Would that make a difference? Of course it would!

In today’s environments, the number of endpoints seems to be endless. Simultaneously, with more advanced bad actors and increasingly complex systems, it is more important than ever that no endpoint goes unmonitored. However, many solutions simply can’t keep up with this growing scale of data collection at the edge.

In today’s interconnected digital landscape, staying on top of market trends is essential for businesses aiming to thrive in the evolving world of observability and security. Recently, Cribl hosted a webinar to shed light on 2024 industry trends, and opportunities and challenges for both end users and vendors.. One of the notable highlights of the webinar is the convergence of observability and security, reflecting the shared data challenges faced by both IT and security teams.

Observability is a broad topic that provides visibility into the key metrics powering customer-facing applications. These applications range from external facing applications ( e.g., Internet banking/online education/e-commerce/government records ) to internal facing applications ( e.g., Trading systems by brokers, Logistics controllers, Traffic Management, and Hotel Reservations). Observability also incorporates backend systems powering industries that ensure smooth operations of tools and processes.

We are thrilled to announce that Cribl has been named to the Rising in Cyber 2024 list by Notable Capital! This independent recognition highlights the most innovative cybersecurity companies as viewed by Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), venture capital investors, and other industry leaders.

In today’s fast-paced tech landscape, how does a company ensure that its products truly meet the needs of its customers? At Cribl, the answer lies in our unwavering commitment to a customer-centric mindset. This philosophy has driven our success, enabling us to develop groundbreaking solutions like Cribl Lake. The story of Cribl Lake is not just about the product itself but also about the people behind it and our unique approach to building the team that brought this solution to life.

Can there really be too much of a good thing? Oh yeah!
