This is important because nothing prevents Cribl from leveraging implementations that Splunk itself makes available to everyone to allow interoperation with their core engine. An implementation of S2S in Splunk Eventgen is still available under an Apache license, assuming they don’t take it down after this blog is published. Since 2014 or before, implementations of the Splunk to Splunk (S2S) protocol have been open sourced for delivering data to Splunk. Splunk has alleged many things in its filing, but the core of its claims are around intellectual property theft by me personally around the Splunk to Splunk (S2S) protocol. Our core innovation, giving customers choice and control over their data, is a threat to Splunk. What worked for the last decade won’t work today. Data is growing at 25% CAGR, meaning you’ll have 250% more data in 5 yrs than you have today. We started Cribl in June 2018, 15 mos after we’d left Splunk, after discovering customers were struggling to tame the growth in data. Our “customers first” approach to innovation is resonating. Cribl is one of the fastest growing companies in enterprise software for a reason. While interoperability with Splunk has been a key feature in our product, the value of providing a pipeline which can route data anywhere while controlling costs has clearly resonated with the market. These claims are baseless as I’ll establish in this blog. The core of Splunk’s intellectual property claims stem from accusing me personally of stealing IP from Splunk in order to create Cribl. Splunk now enters the realm of incumbents who litigate rather than innovate. These claims are baseless, and unsurprisingly I have a few things to say. As a former Splunk customer and employee, this news makes me sad. Yesterday, Splunk announced legal action against Cribl.
