This documentation explains the Cribl reference architecture. It’s a blueprint for designing a scalable and resilient Cribl deployment that fits your enterprise needs.

We provide links to the documentation for specific Cribl products for detailed instructions on how to configure and deploy the components we discuss.

What You Will Learn ​

This reference architecture provides:

• The technical guidance to deploy, scale, and operate Cribl products in an enterprise.
• Architectural considerations, including how components interact, and the trade-offs for production readiness.
• Deployment strategies for cloud, on-prem, and hybrid setups.

This framework is designed to help you handle complex data pipelines, making sure your Cribl deployment is optimized for future growth.
