Question 1

What is Cerbi?

Accepted Answer

Cerbi is a logging governance platform. It enforces logging policy at the point of emission, inside the application, before any data reaches a pipeline, storage platform, or observability vendor.

Question 2

Do I need to replace my existing logger?

Accepted Answer

No. CerbiStream plugs into your existing logging framework — Microsoft.Extensions.Logging, Serilog, or NLog — as a provider. Your log sinks and destinations are unchanged.

Question 3

Is CerbiStream free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. CerbiStream and the Governance Analyzer are free on NuGet under the MIT license. Paid plans unlock CerbiShield — the governance dashboard, scoring, reporting, and RBAC.

Question 4

How is Cerbi priced?

Accepted Answer

Cerbi is priced by monthly governed event volume. Starter $79/month (25M events), Pro $249/month (250M events), Scale $499/month (1B events). No per-seat or per-service fees.

Question 5

Does Cerbi route or relay my logs?

Accepted Answer

No. CerbiStream runs entirely inside your application process and makes no network calls on the hot path. CerbiShield receives governance metadata asynchronously and never sees raw log payloads.

Question 6

How does Cerbi help with HIPAA and GDPR compliance?

Accepted Answer

Governance profiles define which fields are forbidden or require masking. CerbiShield versions and deploys those profiles per environment and maintains an immutable audit trail. Cerbi is designed to support logging-related controls in HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2, and ISO 27001.

Question 7

Does CerbiShield run in my Azure tenant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All CerbiShield services, databases, and governance data run inside your Azure subscription. No log data or governance telemetry is sent to shared Cerbi infrastructure.

Question 8

What runtimes and versions are supported?

Accepted Answer

CerbiStream currently supports .NET 8 and .NET 9, and is compatible with .NET 10+. Support for additional runtimes is on the roadmap. Runtime governance adapters are available for Microsoft.Extensions.Logging, Serilog, and NLog.
