Version 4.4.4 adds new capabilities and usability improvements to Cribl Stream, Cribl Edge, Cribl Search, and Cribl.Cloud:
• Load balancing in the Webhook Destination. You can enable load balancing and specify multiple webhook URLs and their load weights, which sets relative traffic-handling capabilities for each connection. You can also choose whether to exclude all IPs of the current host from the list of resolved hostnames.
• Exponential backoffs for HTTP request timeout errors in HTTP-based Destinations. You can configure the values for initial retry delay, retry delay multiplier, and maximum retry delay. This helps build in a time buffer before Stream retries an HTTP request.
• Custom session timeout in Cribl.Cloud. In Cribl.Cloud Global Settings, you can now configure a Session idle time limit for the GUI. This helps keep pages up longer.
• Cribl Search results are now automatically sorted in descending time order by default, presenting the latest information first.
• In dataset providers that support Splunk SmartStore, you can now select SmartStore as the partitioning scheme without having to specify further configuration.
• Search queries can now reference the results of previous searches (with no need to rerun them) using the new virtual table: $vt_results. This allows for iterative analysis.
If you are using Cribl.Cloud, you have already been upgraded to the latest version.
