Edge

Can i install Cribl Edge on my worker nodes without any production impact. `I want to use Cribl  Edge to monitor my Cribl Workers and certain files

Hi,We are currently working on updating our Cribl Edge Agents. While our Linux agents successfully auto-update through the UI, we are encountering issues with our Windows agents. Specifically, the Windows agents display an error during the download process and fail to update.Manual updates are possible by logging into the system and running the update script; however, the UI-based update consistently fails. We have confirmed that port 4200 is open, and there are no indications of blocked or dropped traffic. Additionally, all platform-specific packages, including the corresponding hash files, have been prepared and placed in the appropriate Cribl temporary directory.Given these conditions, what could be causing this issue?

We are running a PowerShell scrip to collect AD Computers using the Get-ADComputer cmdlet and we are receiving this type of response in Cribl which is not what we are expecting to receive:{"time":"2024-09-20T14:40:32.097Z","cid":"w0","channel":"input:test-retrieve_ad_computers","level":"error","message":"error from child process","data":{"0":65,"1":116,"2":32,"3":108,"4":105,"5":110,"6":101,"7":58,"8":49,"9":32,"10":99,"11":104,"12":97,"13":114,"14":58,"15":49,"16":53,"17":54,"18":13,"19":10}}

I'm collecting files written by syslog from Cisco ASA and I'd like to change the source from the filename to a value extracted from _raw. It's not possible right now to send the syslog directly to the edge node.I've tried evaling source to __raw.match(/\b\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\.\d{1,3}\b/) The output on value expression seems right but the source field doesn't change. Is this possible?

Hi,I've configured SNMP source to accept SNMPv3 traps.Traps can not be decrypted and would like get why.I enabled debug mode in Worker Settings for authentication, input snmp, etc.But nothing appear in Logs tab when chosing an All Logs option.

I'm trying to collect the full windows event messages, all the fields plus the full message/rendered message (the view you see in windows) It seems like if use the json method I get that message at least sometimes but then really crucial information like username domain etc are buried in the properties field, and if I use xml then I get all the fields with names etc, but I don't get that rendered message at all.I'm used to working with winlogbeat and nxlog and this is pretty standard to do in those, but is there a way to do this in the edge agent?

How can I get my edge nodes to send data to Cribl cloud so it can be seen in my end destination?

I deployed Cribl on some Windows Servers. They are routing events to an on-premise Cribl Stream instance. Everything was working fine, until collection just stopped. It appears that the Edge agents aren't connecting to "https://cdn.cribl.io/telemetry". These servers are behind a web proxy. The proxy settings are applied properly in Windows.If I pull up a browser on the server, and surf to https://cdn.cribl.io/telemetry, I get the expected output --- “cribl /// living the stream!”I have tried:Manually configuring the proxy settings in Windows itself rather than auto-config.Defining actual environment variables for “HTTP_PROXY” and “HTTPS_PROXY” within Windows Server.Tried flipping the Cribl Edge “default_fleet” toggle for “Proxy” -> “use environment variables” on and off.I have manually restarted the services and the Edge agent itself multiple times. Nothing has worked. What is the proper combination of settings in Windows and Cribl Edge to force the agent to use the proxy to phone h

I am running Edge Nodes on our EC2 instances. When reviewing internal fields from our File Collector sources, I noticed that there is alot of really useful data that our SREs use to investigate which regions & servers are experiencing issues during incidents. These include: - AMI image - Region - Availability Zone - Architecture - Public IP - Private IPI'd like to extract these internal fields as event fields that get sent to our destinations. What is the simplest way to do that?

What is the function of the NSSM.exe process that starts with Cribl Edge?

I am trying to add a new Edge node to my Cribl Cloud instance. I click on the Add/Update Edge Node and get the script.

How would I go about collecting logs from systemd services using Cribl Edge?

I really dislike running any service as root. But Edge needs to access files all over my system. Is there a way to address both requirements?

Hi I'm looking into Cribl and its features - one thing I haven't been able to find in the documentation is licensing stream vs edge. Is it the same license or are they separate?

Wondering if anyone has experience with using Edge to collect Windows host logs and sending them to IBM QRadar. Would appreciate any lessons learned or LSX XML created to account for the format differences.

Hi Team, quick question. How do the Windows Edge Nodes extract Windows Event logs and forward them to Cribl? Does it spin a powrshell process and send logs up in batches?

Hi there,Question about encryption keys: would it be possible to use the same encryption key in an Edge fleet and in a Stream worker group ?I have a use case where we need to encrypt data at the source (Edge) and send it to a S3 compatible storage. Then I should be able to retrieve data from the S3 bucket using a collector Job that would be ran from a Stream worker group and then use a pipeline for decryption. Does it make sense ?For those of you who are going to tell me to forward data from Edge to Stream and then use Encrypt function before sending to S3 I would answer to them that the Sec team insists to encrypt data the closest to the source

Where abouts on a windows system would Cribl Edge have local application logs stored? trying to troubleshoot

Hello there,I am preparing a POC (on prem) for a customer based on Edge and Stream. I just wanted to know if it is possible to manage an Edge agent from a standalone Stream instance or if is mandatory to deploy a leader node to manage both Stream and Edge instances ?

Does Edge have any local application debug / error logs? Dug through the install directory and nothing seemed to jump out as an obvious log file.

Is there a way we can add our own edge node info? We'd like to add some metadata that we can use for our mappings

Our networking group collects events to their own syslog server and refuse to send the events directly to use from the network devices. We have to use their syslog relay. Wondering, what would be the pros/cons of putting an edge client on their syslog server instead. Could it keep up? The edge client would read from logfiles. Any other considerations?

Trying Cribl edge for the first time to get logs and metrics from our K8 cluster. We followed the documentation deploying edge node on K8 but the edge node is not visible on our leader which is sitting outside the k8 cluster. Any suggestions appreciated

How to take CPU profile for edge node? I don't see an option in UI.

In the “File Monitor” Allowlist, can I use REGEX expressions like \d{2} or just ! & *?
