SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 7, 2023 /PmRNewswire/ -- Cribl, the leader in enabling open observability, today announced the results of its fiscal year, marked by surging customer demand, an expanded observability product suite, and major funding.

"As we turn our sights to our next fiscal year and beyond, our team is committed, more than ever before, to delivering innovative products, best-in-class customer support, free education for all, and, ultimately, charting the future of the observability category."
