What Is Cribl Copilot?

Before we dive into using Cribl Copilot, let's take a moment to understand what it is and why it's such a game-changer for data professionals working with Cribl's suite of products.

The Power of AI for Your Data​

Cribl Copilot is an AI assistant embedded across the Cribl suite that helps users accomplish complex data tasks more efficiently through natural language interactions. Instead of requiring deep knowledge of specific syntax or commands, Copilot allows you to express what you want to accomplish in plain English, making Cribl's powerful capabilities accessible to everyone.

Key Benefits of Cribl Copilot​

  • Democratized Data Expertise: Transform every user into an expert log wrangler, regardless of experience level
  • Human-in-the-Loop Approach: AI suggestions with human control and oversight
  • Accelerated Time-to-Value: Complete complex data transformations in minutes instead of hours or days
  • Reduced Learning Curve: Use natural language to harness Cribl's power without memorizing syntax

What Can Copilot Do?​

Cribl Copilot excels in three key areas:

  1. Data Transformation: Convert raw logs (like VPC flow logs) to standard formats such as OCSF with a simple natural language request
  2. Visualization Creation: Generate dashboard elements and visualizations by describing what you want to see
  3. Query Assistance: Convert natural language descriptions into search queries without needing to know query syntax

Human-in-the-Loop Philosophy​

Unlike some AI tools that attempt to completely automate tasks, Cribl Copilot follows a "human-in-the-loop" approach. The AI provides intelligent suggestions and handles the heavy lifting, but you maintain full control over what actually gets implemented. This approach ensures:

  • You understand what's happening with your data
  • You can review and approve changes before they're applied
  • You can learn from Copilot's suggestions to improve your own skills
  • Critical operations remain under human oversight

Now that we understand what Cribl Copilot is, let's dive in and see it in action!
