Cribl Edge
What it is
Cribl Edge collects and processes telemetry from hosts, including logs, metrics, and application data, then delivers it to Cribl Stream or supported destinations. It can discover host, container, and application data, while Functions and Pipelines transform, enrich, reduce, or redact data before routing. A centralized console lets teams monitor, manage, and configure Edge agents across fleets. Teleport supports endpoint log and metric inspection, along with local configuration previews and validation. Edge runs on Linux, Windows, and macOS as a single instance or distributed deployment, including Docker and Kubernetes. Listed destinations include Amazon CloudWatch Logs, Amazon S3, Azure Event Hubs, Google Cloud Logging, Kafka, and Splunk HEC. The product page says Edge can manage up to 250,000 nodes, while the free plan includes up to 1TB/day, 100 Edge Nodes, one Fleet, and Community Support. Windows deployments do not support Kubernetes sources, and the Grok Function is unavailable on Windows. Standard lists 8×5 support, while Enterprise lists a dedicated 24×7 support team.
