The Power of Search

Before we begin, let us experience the power of the Force Cribl Search firsthand by searching an Amazon S3 bucket for VPC Flow logs. Surely this is a journey that all data Jedi have been on at some point.

Hello World!

  1. On the Cribl.Cloud home page, click the explore-button button for Search.

  2. Under Available Datasets on the left, locate cribl_search_sample and click Search Now.

    It was S3 all along!

    The icon to the left of dataset shows the type of data provider. The S3 icon s3-icon shows that we are directly searching an S3 bucket.

And it's as simple as that! Obviously there's much more that can be done, but we'll explore these things later in our journey. Let's build up to "more" by first discussing the basics.
