Impossible! Do Developers Really Mean This?

Impossible! Do software developers really mean this when they're estimating projects? Maybe, but they might not realize that even if a project is technically impossible, sometimes getting close is good enough. Here's part 2 of 4 of Sleuth's CTO and cofounder, Don Brown's take on decoding developer speak. Give Sleuth a try and see how we empower software teams to build faster by making engineering efficiency easy to improve and measurable — in a way that both managers and developers love.

Setting Up a Data Loop using Cribl Search and Stream Part 1: Setting up the Data Lake Destination

In the very first video of the series, we delve into the concept of a data loop and why it is beneficial to use Cribl Search and Cribl Stream to optimize the use of a data lake. The video gives a concise overview of Cribl Search and Cribl Stream, and how they work in tandem to create a data loop. We then provide step-by-step instructions on how to configure the Cribl Stream "Amazon S3 Data Lake" Destination to transfer data from Stream to an S3 bucket that has been optimized specifically for Cribl Search's access. Finally, we demonstrate sending sample data to the S3 bucket and present a before-and-after view of the bucket to showcase the impact of the test data.

Setting Up a Data Loop using Cribl Search and Stream Part 2: Configuring Cribl Search

In the second video of our series, we delve into the nuts and bolts of configuring Cribl Search to access the data that we've stored in the S3 bucket. The video guides you step-by-step through the process of configuring the Search S3 dataset provider by using the Stream Data Lake destination as a model for the authentication information. From there, we proceed to walk through the process of creating a Dataset to access the Provider that we've just established. To wrap things up, we demonstrate how to search through the test data that we've previously stored in the S3 bucket.

Setting Up a Data Loop using Cribl Search and Stream Part 3: Send Data from Cribl Search to Stream

The third video of our series focuses on utilizing Cribl Stream to manage data. The presenter takes us through the process of configuring the Cribl Stream in_cribl_http source in tandem with the Cribl Search send operator to collect data. We are able to witness live data results being sent from Search to Stream. Afterward, we demonstrate creating a Route in Stream to direct the incoming data from Search (via the in_cribl_http) Source to the Data Lake by using the Amazon S3 Data Lake Destination. This step employs a passthrupipeline to ensure that the data is not altered in transit.
