Getting to Know Cribl Stream
Welcome to our tutorial sandbox! This course, Getting to Know Cribl Stream, is an interactive dive into Cribl Stream's user experience. Cribl, the Data Engine for IT and Security, empowers organizations to transform their data strategy, enabling customers to collect, process, route, and analyze all IT and security data. In this course, we will implement use cases for routing, transforming, and controlling streaming data. Throughout, we will be working interactively with log and metric data in Cribl Stream. We'll also show real data flowing through the integrated terminal, and through tools like nc, tail, and jq. At the end of this tutorial, you should have a grasp of how to implement basic use cases in Stream.
This sandbox instance will stay running for 24 hours, after which you can get a new sandbox, but your progress will be lost. To re-connect to the sandbox, just come back to https://sandbox.cribl.io and re-enter your email address.
