Cribl Search 4.8 ​

Starting with Cribl Search 4.8, you can connect to ClickHouse databases, automatically scale the number of search executors, normalize event structures via a new foldkeys operator, use literal regex in your queries, and more.

ClickHouse Integration ​

You can now search ClickHouse databases, by adding ClickHouse Dataset Providers and Datasets.

Automatic Scaling of Executors ​

You can now automatically scale the number of executors allocated to your search, by using the set statement option: max_executors="auto".

Support for Regex Literals ​

You can now use ECMA-style regular expressions in your queries, including in key compare expressions, in-lists, and the cribl operator.

New Operator: foldkeys ​

You can now easily handle field names that contain separator characters, normalizing them with the new foldkeys operator.

New Function: gettype ​

You can use the new gettype scalar function to determine the data type of a field.

Vertical and Horizontal Bar Charts ​

You can use a new Horizontal Bar visualization type. The original (vertical) Bar type is now renamed Column, and it remains the default visualization.

More Control over Chart Settings ​

On visualizations, a new Save chart settings toggle enables you to choose whether to persist any formatting customizations to any subsequent queries performed on the page. In this toggle’s default off position, the visualization will reset to its own defaults upon refresh.

Easier Viewing and Searching of Search Results ​

With new dedicated buttons, you’ll find it easier to view the results of your past searches and query their result sets.
