- Source & destination configuration
- Architecture + As-Built documentation
- Knowledge transfer throughout
Why Enterprise Deployments Fragment
At enterprise scale, Cribl deployments introduce complexity that must be managed from the start. Without structure, deployments lead to fragmentation and inefficiency.
Multiple data domains require coordinated onboarding and routing. Without a structured plan, domains are onboarded inconsistently and create downstream conflicts.
Increased use case volume introduces architectural dependencies that compound. Early decisions made without visibility into downstream use cases become expensive to reverse.
Without standardized pipeline architecture from day one, long-term scalability suffers. Teams rebuild and rework pipelines that should have been consistent from the start.
Early design decisions at enterprise scale directly impact cost, performance, and maintainability. Unstructured activation amplifies these risks across every domain.
What We Deliver
A structured activation program delivered in a defined sequence: base scope plus five customer-selected use cases across your enterprise environment.
Base Activation Scope
- Architecture Design Enterprise-scale dependency planning, sizing, and deployment approach across multiple data domains.
- Use Case Planning Workshop Define and prioritize the five use cases to be implemented, with cross-domain dependency mapping.
- Cribl Deployment Full deployment of Leader and Worker Groups per defined enterprise architecture.
- Source & Destination Configuration Connect data sources across domains and configure standardized destination routing and filtering.
- Deployment Validation End-to-end testing across all five use cases to confirm data flows correctly before production cutover.
- Documentation Enterprise architecture doc and As-Built record delivered at engagement close.
Customer-Selected Use Cases
You choose five from the list below. Each is implemented and validated during the activation.
- Data Onboarding: Bring new sources into Cribl and route them to a destination, converting formats to match what the destination expects (up to five sources).
- Advanced Data Onboarding: Onboard sources that need custom REST collectors or advanced configuration (up to two sources).
- Data Archiving: Configure and test archiving beyond Cribl Lake, including S3 partitioning strategy and Log Replay validation.
- Data Reduction: Build pipelines that cut data volume or event size before it reaches your destination (up to five sources).
- Data Routing: Deliver full or filtered data streams to two or more destinations (up to 25 sources).
- Logs to Metrics: Convert event log data into metrics with purpose-built pipelines (up to two sources).
- Edge Deployment: Plan and configure Cribl Edge nodes for data collection (up to three fleets).
- Data Enrichment: Build pipelines that add enrichment context to your data sources (up to three sources).
- Cribl Search: Implement and adopt Cribl Search use cases, with hands-on training against your own data.
- Container Deployment: Deploy Stream in a containerized environment, with container-specific support included.
Want embedded support to continue after activation? The Enterprise Bundle pairs this activation with six months of Resident Services.
How We Work Together
Remote, structured, and consultant-led: every session has a defined agenda and a clear output across five coordinated use cases.
~40 Guided Sessions
Structured working sessions with defined agendas across five use cases. No open-ended calls. Every session moves the enterprise deployment forward.
3-Month Window
Delivered over a 3-month activation window, giving your enterprise teams the time to absorb and validate each phase before moving ahead.
Remote Delivery
Delivered remotely by a Cribl-certified consultant. No travel overhead. Full enterprise engagement from day one.
Active Participation Required
This is a collaborative engagement across your teams. Stakeholder involvement across domains is essential to success at scale.
VAR Partnership Model
Delivered in partnership with VARs, with nth degree providing certified execution capacity behind the enterprise engagement.
Fixed Scope
This is a fixed-scope program aligned to five defined use cases. Defined outcomes. Predictable delivery. No scope creep across domains.
