Case Study: a global fast food chain cuts data egress costs and improves observability with Cribl

Fast Food Chain cuts log storage costs by 66% with Cribl

The customer, a global fast food chain, faced challenges with high data egress costs and data compatibility issues across its vast network of over 35,000 locations. Their network infrastructure team needed to streamline data collection and reduce storage costs as part of a global observability initiative. To address this, they implemented Cribl Stream to create a unified observability pipeline.

Cribl's solution enabled the fast food chain to efficiently route and transform data, reducing syslog volume by 66% and cutting monthly log storage costs from $70,000 to $30,000. Cribl Stream also provided in-flight data enrichment, improved troubleshooting capabilities, and a 10x reduction in compliance storage costs. The implementation of Cribl resulted in significant bandwidth savings and accelerated the deployment of new tools and a global Security Operations Center initiative.
