The record

Purpose: Cribl Edge collects and processes telemetry such as logs, metrics, and application data from hosts, then delivers it to Cribl Stream or supported destinations.
Discovery: It can automatically discover and collect host, container, and application metrics and logs from endpoints.
Processing: Functions and Pipelines can transform, enrich, reduce, and redact data before it is routed to destinations.
Fleet management: A centralized console lets teams monitor, manage, and configure Edge agents across fleets.
Troubleshooting: Teleport lets users inspect endpoint metrics and logs and preview or validate configurations locally.
Integrations: Supported destinations include Amazon CloudWatch Logs, Amazon S3, Azure Event Hubs, Google Cloud Logging, Kafka, Splunk HEC, and many others.
Deployment: Edge can run on Linux, Windows, and macOS, as a single instance or in distributed deployments, and in Docker or Kubernetes.
Scale: The product page says Edge can manage up to 250,000 nodes; the free plan lists a 100-node limit.
Windows limitation: Windows deployments do not support Kubernetes sources, and the Grok Function is unavailable on Windows.
Security: Cribl provides security and third-party assessment documentation, including SOC 2 Type II reports and ISO certifications, through its TrustCloud portal.
Support: The listed Free plan includes Community Support; Standard lists 8×5 support and Enterprise lists a dedicated 24×7 support team.
Audience: Cribl says Edge is built for ITOps and SecOps engineers and users of operational and security intelligence products who want to simplify host data collection and analysis.
