Cribl LogStream

Overview​

info

The Cribl output is currently a technology preview. The design and implementation are less mature than stable features and subject to change.

The Cribl output can be used to send records to the Cribl LogStream HTTP/S (Bulk API).

  • Valid Values
    • true, false

  • Default
    • ''

EF_OUTPUT_CRIBL_BATCH_DEADLINE​

The maximum time, in milliseconds, to wait for a batch of records to fill before being sent to Cribl.

  • Default
    • 2000

EF_OUTPUT_CRIBL_BATCH_MAX_BYTES​

The maximum size, in bytes, for a batch of records being sent to Cribl.

  • Default
    • 8388608

EF_OUTPUT_CRIBL_TLS_ENABLE​

This setting is used to enable/disable TLS connections to Cribl Logstream.

  • Valid Values
    • true, false
  • Default
    • false

EF_OUTPUT_CRIBL_TLS_SKIP_VERIFICATION​

This setting is used to enable/disable TLS verification of the Cribl Logstream server to which the output is attempting to connect.
