How-To: Archive to S3

Welcome to our Cribl self-guided demo! This course, Cribl Stream - S3 Archive, is the second part of a series designed to give a quick tour of Stream.

In this course, we configure an S3 archive for our observability data for use at a later date. This course should take about 10 minutes to complete. At the end of the course, you can optionally continue on with the other How-To's and continue building a full configuration, or try out any of the other courses available at https://sandbox.cribl.io

This sandbox instance stays running for 24 hours, after which you can get a new sandbox, but your progress will be lost. To reconnect to the sandbox, just come back to S3 Archives and re-enter your email address.

Conventions

In this tutorial, the following formatting indicates (respectively) actions we expect you to take; content you can optionally skip; and commands or content you need to paste into the terminal or Stream.

Notes contain optional steps. You can skip these without breaking the infrastructure we're building.

Preformatted text contains commands to be pasted 
into the terminal, or content to be pasted into 
Stream. There is an easy Copy option available

Getting Help

Login

Stream should automatically log you in, but if you're idle for too long, or get disconnected, it's possible you'll be prompted for a login. The Username is admin and the Password is cribldemo. You might want to store these to a text file or paper now, just in case.
