Case Study: CrossFit, Inc. achieves real-time cloud monitoring and rapid troubleshooting with Logentries

Crossfit, Inc. - Customer Case Study

CrossFit, Inc., the global developer of the CrossFit fitness program, needed to modernize and scale its IT infrastructure as it moved to Amazon VPC. Kyle Moschetto, Senior Network, Systems and Cloud Engineer, and his 10-person IT team faced a disparate, non-standardized cloud environment where logs were consuming server resources and it was “very painful” to find and diagnose issues.

They adopted Logentries (quick to deploy with a Chef recipe) alongside Chef and New Relic to aggregate logs, monitor cloud infrastructure, and enable real-time scaling. The integrated toolset let the team migrate most services to a scalable VPC, cut weeks off troubleshooting time, and rapidly resolve a peak-traffic Apache/caching issue in under two hours; CrossFit now uses Logentries for ongoing monitoring and plans to add anomaly and inactivity alerts.
