Enables in-place querying and analysis of machine data, such as logs, metrics, and instrumentation data, without requiring data to be moved to a centralized location. It leverages the Kusto Query Language (KQL) and provides federated search capability across various data sources, including data lakes, object stores, analytics platforms, and API endpoints. The tool supports both historical and real-time data analysis, allowing users to filter, transform, and route data efficiently. Cribl Search integrates with other Cribl products, such as Stream and Lake, to enhance data processing and storage capabilities, while also working collaboratively with existing tools and systems. Its purpose is to provide flexible and efficient data management, reducing storage and transfer costs by processing data where it resides.
