Cribl On Your Coffee Break Episode 3 - Configuring Prometheus Remote-Write

In day 3 of our coffee break series, Leon continues to explore common observability data types and how to get them into Cribl. Today, we’ll look at setting up a simple Prometheus ingestion. By the time the month (and the series) is over, you will have a pretty good idea of what Cribl can do, and how to do it. You’ll also have consumed your body weight in caffeinated beverages...

The six pillars of AI-ready telemetry

“AI-ready” is everywhere right now, attached to nearly every product in every category. The catchy label rarely means anything specific, just as additional questions are warranted when vendors claim to be “AI-native”. After fighting through all the marketing jargon, there needs to be a standard, not a slogan. And the definition changes depending on what the data is for. AI-ready for a data warehouse and AI-ready for live operational telemetry are not the same problem.

6 Signs a Dedicated Log Tool Fits Better Than a Full Observability Platform

Most growing teams eventually consolidate onto a full observability platform, and for teams correlating logs, metrics, and traces across a complex system, that’s often the right call. But a dedicated log tool still wins for a specific set of teams: ones that need to move fast, keep costs simple, and get real answers from logs without carrying the weight of a platform they don’t fully need yet. Here’s when that’s you.

Cribl On Your Coffee Break Episode 2 - Setting up Syslog

In our second video Leon picks on Syslog (because honestly, it deserves it). Cribl is the perfect tool to whip that disorganized, loud, unruly mess of a data stream into shape. By the time the month is over, you will have a pretty good idea of what Cribl can do, and how to do it. You’ll also have consumed more caffeinated beverages than is strictly appropriate...

Eliminate Data Transfer Fees from Your AWS Log Costs

As businesses generate, capture, and seek to analyze more data than ever before, they often find themselves limited by high data storage costs, expensive data processing fees, and high management overhead. For organizations who wish to expand their log analytics programs and become more data-driven, maximizing cost efficiency has become a critical operational objective.

Cribl On Your Coffee Break Episode 1

In this first episode (or at least the first REAL episode, yesterday’s “episode 0” doesn’t count) of Cribl on your coffee break, Leon does what we all do when we unwrap a shiny new data, telemetry, observability, or monitoring tool: He takes the shortest path to jamming some data into that thing and seeing what it looks like. Is it sophisticated? Nuanced? Well-thought-out? Hell no! But it scratches an itch. There will be time to do more real-world stuff tomorrow.

S3 Access Denied: AI SRE Agent AURA Finds the Missing Permission

The bucket is right there and the function still cannot read it. AURA reads the failure, names the one missing action, and returns the policy to add. A permissions failure gives you the symptom and not the action name. The usual path is reading the error, guessing which actions the execution role is short, and widening the policy until the call goes through. Greg hands AURA a Lambda function that fails when it tries to reach an S3 bucket. AURA identifies the missing ListBucket permission on that particular bucket and returns the minimum policy needed to allow it.

Loop Engineering Guardrails for iGaming with Claude Code and CX CLI

Tuning guardrails can take time. To accelerate this, we combined the power of Claude Code, Coralogix Telemetry and the CX CLI, to build a loop that iterates on guardrails. To test our loop, we built a fictional chat interface for an iGaming operator, that took bets, gave odds on markets and more, but with a catch: this agent was not permitted to make predictions about where the market was going. With our goal in place, we got to work designing our loop.
