Ahead in the Cloud

First at bat for our feature is Cribl.Cloud, the gateway to navigating and managing the entire Cribl Suite of products in the Cribl.Cloud SaaS offering.

Global Settings​

Managing settings with Cribl.Cloud just got much easier. With Global Settings, you now have the ability to update settings for any Cribl product from a single location. This is a great QoL (quality of life) improvement for all of you multi-product Cribl customers as this removes the need to traverse into each product to change settings.

note

You have to have opted-in to the new Cribl.Cloud user interface to see the effects of this update.

important
  1. While on the home page of your Cribl.Cloud organization, navigate to Cribl Stream by clicking the manage button button within the Stream pane.
  2. Click the gear gear icon icon in the left navigation bar to navigate to the settings menu.
  3. Click through all of the product tabs (Global, Search, Stream, Edge) to view each product's settings.

As you can see, this workflow makes it easy to update settings within any Cribl product without ever leaving the product that you are already working in.

Team Mapping ID​

Ok by show of hands, how many of you out there enjoy doing the same repetitive task again, and again, and again, and....(you get the point)? Ah, as I thought, I don't see a single hand (partially because I'm not there, but I still know your hand wasn't up). That's how provisioning users feels when you have to manage each user's access to each product individually.

For IDP users, Cribl now supports mapping Teams in Cribl to Groups within your IDP for quick, easy, and dynamic access provisioning. Users would be added to the appropriate IDP group to provide them access to Cribl and then that group's access is configured in the Cribl Global Settings. We won't be performing these steps in this sandbox, but if you would like to do this for your own organization. Here is a guide on how to set up mappings.
