Cribl acquires Tero to bring observability to its telemetry platform

Cribl, the AI Platform for Telemetry, announced the acquisition of Tero. Tero builds an intelligence layer for observability data. Its co-founders, Ben Johnson (CEO), Adam Cohen (CTO), and Nihar Singhal (COO), join Cribl with their team of engineers to build host monitoring, applied performance monitoring (APM), federated observability, and AI-native observability on the Cribl open platform used to collect, route, and optimize customers' telemetry.

“The best builders in observability are choosing to build with Cribl,” said Clint Sharp, co-founder and CEO of Cribl. “Ben has spent a decade on the hardest problem in this space: helping engineers control their data and know which of it actually matters. Now he and his team will help us take the next step, building observability directly on the platform our customers already trust with their data, for engineers and the AI agents working alongside them.”

Tero is Cribl’s third acquisition in four months, following CardinalOps in July and Radiant Security’s AI SOC technology in August. The Tero deal brings Cribl a team with deep knowledge of the market, credibility with customers and partners, and the experience to accelerate product development. Together, these acquisitions extend Cribl’s market toward first-party observability and security capabilities on a single open telemetry platform.
