The pipeline that decides
what your SIEM ever sees.
Cribl Stream is the vendor-agnostic telemetry pipeline in front of the SIEM — it collects from everywhere, shapes and reduces data in-flight, and routes it wherever it needs to go. Vijilan designs and operates it end to end (branded ThreatSensor™ inside ViSH), feeding CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM and a 24/7 SOC.
Managed Cribl means Vijilan runs your Cribl Stream telemetry pipeline end to end — collection, parsing, reduction, enrichment and routing — so only useful, structured data reaches your SIEM. It is the ingestion layer of the Falcon Next-Gen SIEM stack, typically cutting ingest cost ~40%, and white-labeled for MSPs and MSSPs.
What a managed pipeline covers here.
Collection & routing
Vendor-agnostic collectors ingest from 100+ sources — endpoints, identity, cloud, network, SaaS and OT. The same stream routes to Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, object storage and any destination you need, in parallel.
Parsing & normalization
Events are parsed and normalized in-flight to a common schema, so a chatty firewall and a cloud audit log land structured and correlatable — cleaner detections, less downstream engineering.
Reduction & shaping
Drop null fields and duplicates, sample high-volume low-value telemetry, and trim payloads before storage — keeping full visibility while cutting what the SIEM has to ingest and index.
Pipeline health & throughput
Collector uptime, backpressure, queue depth and throughput watched and tuned continuously — the pipeline stays boring so the data stays complete and on time.
Volume & cost optimization
Routing and reduction decisions reviewed against your actual mix — the discipline behind a documented 40% SIEM cost reduction in one published partner case study.
24/7 SOC downstream
A clean pipeline is only half the job. Vijilan's SOC investigates what lands in the SIEM around the clock — triage, investigation and containment under an approved runbook.
Cribl is the pipeline; the engine it feeds is Falcon LogScale, delivered managed as NextDefend™. Moving off a legacy SIEM? The migration program uses a Cribl pipeline to dual-write sources with zero visibility loss.
Common questions.
What is Cribl Stream?+
Cribl Stream is a vendor-agnostic telemetry pipeline (an observability pipeline) that sits between your data sources and your SIEM. It collects from 100+ sources, then filters, reduces, enriches and routes each event in-flight — before it lands in storage — so only useful, structured data reaches the SIEM. Vijilan runs Cribl Stream as the ingestion layer of its managed stack, branded ThreatSensor™ inside the ViSH platform.
What does "managed Cribl" actually cover?+
Everything between raw sources and clean, query-ready data: source onboarding and collector configuration, pipeline design (filtering, reduction, enrichment and routing), parser and normalization upkeep, throughput and backpressure health, and volume/cost optimization — with Vijilan's 24/7 SOC consuming the output downstream in Falcon Next-Gen SIEM.
How does Cribl reduce SIEM cost?+
Most SIEM spend is driven by ingest volume. Cribl trims that at the source: it drops null fields and duplicate events, samples high-volume low-value telemetry, and routes full-fidelity copies to cheap object storage while forwarding only what detections need to the SIEM. One published Vijilan partner case study documents a 40% SIEM cost reduction after moving to Falcon Next-Gen SIEM with a Cribl-managed pipeline.
Is Cribl a replacement for a SIEM?+
No. Cribl Stream is the pipeline in front of the SIEM, not the SIEM itself. It decides what data is collected, how it is shaped, and where it goes; the SIEM (Vijilan runs CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen SIEM) stores it, runs detections and drives investigation. They are complementary — the pipeline makes the SIEM cheaper and cleaner.
Can you run Cribl with our existing SIEM or destinations?+
Yes — that is the point of a vendor-agnostic pipeline. Cribl can route the same stream to multiple destinations at once, so you can feed Falcon Next-Gen SIEM, keep a full-fidelity copy in object storage, and continue sending a subset to a legacy tool during a migration. It is also how our SIEM migration program dual-writes sources with zero visibility loss.
Can MSPs white-label managed Cribl?+
Yes — like everything Vijilan ships, it is channel-exclusive and white-labeled. Your brand fronts the reporting and SOC communications for your clients; we design and operate the pipelines behind your service desk and never sell around you.
How is managed Cribl priced?+
It is part of the managed SIEM stack rather than a separate SKU, priced predictably by asset count or daily ingest volume. Specific rates are shared through partner verification and the pricing wizard rather than published as list prices.
"Vijilan didn't just sell us a new platform; they solved our core data problem. Their expertise with Cribl was the game-changer, cutting our costs by 40% and making our threat hunters more effective overnight"
