Why Youll Love This Role
Are you someone who is excited about enabling customers to find, analyze, and visualize their operational data, no matter where it lives, regardless of format or storage medium? Do you enjoy query languages, optimization of performance and working on cutting edge technologies?
Cribl Search flips observability on its head by distributing queries to where your data already lives and aggregating the results – no more expensive data replication, centralized aggregation, megaIOPSpetabyte storage, or kilocoreterabyte hosts required to see whats going on in your deployed environments. Want to find specific events, trace an execution, identify a threat, or graph metric trends from (ex.) data stored in EBS volumes, Cribl Edge nodes, S3 buckets, Azure blob stores, containers, RDBMSes, data lakes, or even a custom datastore? How about being able to do that from a single pane, regardless of heterogeneous storage / location / hosting / on-disk format? Thats what Cribl Search enables, and we think its a game-changer for helping Cribl become the data engine for IT and security.
