Cribl Stream 4.20.3 takes its Terraform provider out of preview and renames its AI editor.

◆Current state
Cribl Stream 4.20.0 landed in September, followed by patches fixing Sentinel OAuth failures after upgrade, worker memory growth, and a JSON Event Breaker bug that silently dropped records while returning HTTP 200. 4.20.3 carries product changes rather than fixes: the Terraform provider leaves preview, Copilot Editor becomes Pipeline Builder, AI model tiers are renamed, and leader licenses persist across managed node restarts.
◆Where it's heading
Minors land about every two months (May, July, September), each followed by two or three critical patches, with recent fixes targeting silent failures in ingestion and authentication. 4.20.3 points the other way too: configuration-as-code is maturing through Terraform even after the TypeScript and Go SDKs were discontinued, and the AI features are being repackaged under new names and tiers.
◆Prediction
A 4.21.0 minor around November fits the two-month cadence; the entries don't show its content. Terraform looks set to be the supported infrastructure-as-code path.

    Cribl Stream 4.20.3: Terraform provider GA, Copilot becomes Pipeline Builder

    Unlike the two fix-only patches before it, 4.20.3 moves the Cribl Terraform provider out of preview, renames Copilot Editor to Pipeline Builder, renames AI model tiers, and keeps leader licenses across managed node restarts. With the TypeScript and Go SDKs discontinued in 4.19.1, Terraform is now the supported way to manage Cribl as code.

    Cribl Stream 4.20.2: JSON breaker no longer silently drops records

    Fixes a JSON Array Event Breaker failure on string values over 8 MB that pinned worker CPU and dropped the rest of the request while returning HTTP 200. It is the second critical patch to the 4.20 line.

    Cribl Stream 4.20.0

    The September minor release; the entry is early-access notes with no detail on what changed. Its two follow-up patches suggest a sizable change set.

    Cribl Stream 4.19.2: OAuth secret expressions and HTTP retries fixed

    Fixes OAuth secret expressions sent as literal text and HTTP destinations dropping timed-out batches. Like 4.20.2, both bugs failed quietly rather than loudly.

    Cribl Stream 4.19.1

    Notices discontinuing the Cribl as Code TypeScript and Go SDKs and deprecating Smart Mode persistent queues signal pruning of less-used surfaces. A Cloud billing change to Bulk API byte accounting is also flagged.
