REST API Collector
Welcome to the REST Collector tutorial sandbox! This interactive course guides you through how to use the Cribl Stream REST API Collector. You'll use Cribl Stream in different scenarios, with simulated REST API endpoints, to show you how to collect data.
This course should take no more than 60 minutes to complete.
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.
Conventions
In this tutorial, the following three formats indicate (respectively) actions you must take to proceed; content you can optionally skip; and commands or content you'll need to paste into Stream.
Important text shows actions you need to take. For each of these sections, further sections will depend on you having taken these actions in Stream.
Notes contain optional steps. You can skip these without breaking the scenario.
Preformatted text contains content to be pasted into
Stream. There is an easy Copy option available at the upper-right corner of these sections.
Getting Help
If you get stuck during this tutorial feel free to reach out to us on the Cribl Community Slack channel.
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 credentials are:
| Username | Password |
|---|---|
| admin | cribldemo |
You might want to store these to a text file or paper now, just in case.
