Cribl v4.11
What's New in Version 4.11?
Cribl 4.11 is about usability and quality of life improvements. For more complete release notes, check out the specific product release notes: Cribl Stream, Cribl Edge, Cribl Search, and Cribl Lake on our fantastic docs site. Below are a few highlights from the release.
NodeJS Upgrade to Version 20*
Cribl has updated NodeJS to version 20*. Node.js 18 will reach its end-of-life (EOL) on April 30, 2025, meaning it will no longer receive security patches or updates. By upgrading to Node.js 20, we are ensuring stronger security, better performance, and long-term support for Cribl’s products.
Note: Windows Edge Nodes will remain on Node.js 18 for the time being.
Cribl Container Image Upgrade
We’re excited to announce that the Cribl Docker distribution has been updated to use Ubuntu 24.04 as its underlying operating system. This upgrade brings significant improvements in security, performance, and compatibility, ensuring a more robust and future-proof platform for your data routing and processing needs.
Metrics-specific Function
We’ve added metrics-specific Function to aggregate metrics.
Kubernetes Events Per Second Limit Increase
We’ve increased the performance of the Kubernetes Logs Source and turned EPS ingestion up to 40k! We’ve achieved this by adding load balancing as an option on the Kubernetes Logs Source, which you can enable with a toggle. You can also now increase the number of Worker Processes for Cribl Edge. See the Kubernetes Logs Source docs for more details.
File Monitor Error Suppression
To improve your experience in the File Monitor Source, we added an option to suppress error messages in Manual mode when a file path doesn’t exist. You can turn on this option in the File Monitor Source General Settings.
New in Cribl Search is, well, Cribl Lakehouse. Search is the way that users benefit from Lakehouse. See Cribl Lake below for more information.
