Config Quest for Cribl: App Demo
Managing distributed data pipelines can quickly feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. That’s why we recently launched Config Quest for Cribl. It’s a lightweight, read-only app designed to give you instant, cross-group context. Check out our demo to see how it works.
Video Summary:
- Spot Bad Hygiene Instantly: In the Overview dashboard, you will see how the app automatically surfaces critical environment issues like stranded sources, unreached destinations, and unreferenced pipelines.
- Deep, Regex-Powered Searching: If you only have a port number or a fragment of a hostname, we demonstrate how to search the values inside your configurations, then use the auto-generated relationships graph to see exactly what feeds into a specific pipeline.
- Configuration Drift: The Compare and Differences tabs to matrix an object (like a hec_primary destination) across multiple Worker Groups, instantly highlighting drift.
- Tracking Git History Without Leaving the UI: See how you can identify who changed the web logs pipeline, and when. The Commits tab shows how Config Quest pulls the Leader’s Git history directly into your workflow so you can pinpoint the exact commit that caused an issue.
We built Config Quest to bring much-needed context to the DevOps and security teams doing the heavy lifting in Cribl every day. It doesn’t write, it doesn’t deploy; it strictly gives you clarity to keep your pipelines clean and drift-free.
