Cribl Lake leverages open formats — no pre-defined schema required, unifies security with rich access controls, and centralizes access to all IT and security data. Cribl handles the heavy lifting so data can easily be usable and valuable to the teams and tools that need it.
The challenge
Traditional data stores are complex, expensive, and time-consuming to manage. Data needs to be stored in specific formats. Data collectors and replay capabilities need to be properly configured. Storing data without proper access controls or masking can result in data breaches or security incidents. Managing the storage lifecycle policies can be challenging without the right mix of data and cloud skills. Misconfiguring object stores and storing too much data for too long can be a costly expense.
The influx of data into these lakes often arrives in messy, disparate formats, and can quickly turn into a chaotic data swamp — a mere dumping ground for data. Most analytics solutions today need data to be moved into them to query, they are not designed to query data natively, in place, in data lakes.

Facets of Cribl Lake
MINUTES, NOT MONTHS TO GET UP AND RUNNING WITH A MANAGED DATA LAKE
Zero configuration needed with automated provisioning that creates a fully usable cloud data lake in minutes, instead of weeks or months. Retain data for up to ten years. Out-of-the-box integrations streamline workflows to ingest, store, route, replay, and search data.
TAKE THE COMPLEXITY OUT OF MANAGING DATA, NO CLOUD OR DATA-SPECIFIC SKILLS REQUIRED
Remove the possibility of human error with automated, unified retention, security, and access control policies across object stores and clouds. Keep data safe, prevent unauthorized access, and ease data sharing across the enterprise. Cribl Lake seamlessly scales as your data needs grow.
SCHEMA-ON-NEED: DATA IN THE FORMAT YOU NEED, WHEN YOU NEED IT
Not all data is created equal. Simplify data onboarding by storing data in its original format or enrich it with additional details to provide more insight via Search.
