Cribl routes the data. Nova reads the data and takes action.
Cribl is the best-in-class telemetry router. Nova is what the data feeds into: an AI-native SRE platform that turns reduced telemetry into resolved incidents, automatically.
Cribl Stream and Edge route, reduce, and replay telemetry. Nova consumes that telemetry and runs the entire incident lifecycle: detection, diagnosis, runbooks, remediation, postmortems.
| Capability | Nova AI Ops | Cribl |
|---|---|---|
| Telemetry Routing | ✓ Telemetry pipeline + reasoning, not just routing | ✓ Industry-leading routing, reduction, replay |
| Native Observability | ✓ Full-stack monitoring with AI anomaly detection | ✗ Cribl is a router, not a backend |
| Log Storage / Search | ✓ 1B+ events with AI anomaly detection | ~ Cribl Search queries data in place, no native UI for SREs |
| Distributed Tracing | ✓ Flame graphs, service maps, SLA alerts | ✗ Routes traces, doesn't analyze them |
| AI Agents | ✓ 100+ specialized agents for detection, diagnosis, remediation, postmortems | ✗ Not an AI platform |
| Incident Management | ✓ Built-in incident lifecycle, war rooms, post-mortems | ✗ No incident management |
| Auto-Remediation | ✓ 78% incidents auto-resolved in <90s | ✗ No remediation |
| AI Runbooks | ✓ AI-generated runbooks with what-if simulation | ✗ No runbooks |
| On-Call Scheduling | ✓ Follow-the-sun, zero-gap scheduling | ✗ No on-call |
| Pricing | ✓ Per-user pricing, Basic tier, no per-host/per-GB overages | ~ Per worker + per GB processed |
| Setup Time | ✓ Under 3 minutes, one-command install | ✓ Hours for a basic Stream pipeline |
| Status Pages | ✓ Public status page + uptime SLA included | ✗ No status page |
Cribl is priced per worker and per GB processed. It handles routing: backends, incident management, on-call, and a status page are still on you. Nova consolidates them.
Full platform: monitoring, incidents, AI agents, runbooks, on-call, logs, tracing, auto-remediation. Plans from $20/month. See pricing.
Cribl Stream is licensed per worker and per GB. Cribl Search and Edge add separate line items. Backends, observability, incidents, and on-call are not included.
Cribl is the pipeline. Nova is the destination, and the reasoning, incidents, and remediation layer Cribl deliberately doesn't cover.
