Cribl Integration

This guide explains how to add Parseable as a destination in Cribl Stream to forward your telemetry data.

Prerequisites

A running Cribl Stream instance

To add a destination, you can use either QuickConnect or Routes. Here's how to use QuickConnect:

If on a Distributed deployment, select Worker Groups in the sidebar and choose a Worker Group.
Navigate to Routing > QuickConnect.
Select Add Destination and choose OpenTelemetry from the list.

Set up new QuickConnect Destination

Select OpenTelemetry destination

After selecting OpenTelemetry as your destination, configure the following settings:

Protocol	`HTTP`
Endpoint	Your Parseable ingestor URL (e.g., `https://<your-instance>-ingestor.workspace-staging.parseable.com`) - make sure to use the correct ingestor URL for your environment without any trailing slash in the end

Navigate to Advanced Settings to configure additional options:
