Case Study
“ADDING A NEW DESTINATION IN CRIBL TYPICALLY TAKES JUST MINUTES. WE CAN MAKE FORWARDING DECISIONS WITHOUT BUGGING SYSLOG ADMINS AND INTERRUPTING THEIR OTHER WORK.”
“BEFORE WE HAD CRIBL STREAM, TROUBLESHOOTING MEANT A LENGTHY BACK-AND-FORTH WITH THE APPLICATION VENDOR TO GET ACCESS TO DATABASES AND FIND BURIED LOG INFORMATION. NOW, WITH DIRECT VISIBILITY INTO LOG DATA, APPLICATION OWNERS CAN SPOT PERFORMANCE ISSUES SOONER, TAKING ACTION WHEN IT COUNTS.”

“Our applications and infrastructure produce 2TB of log and event data daily that various City departments use to spot cyberthreats and performance issues,” says the Senior Enterprise Architect for the city. Previously, all log and event data—from VPNs, firewalls, CrowdStrike, Microsoft 365, Windows, and more—went to a single destination, Splunk."
But as data volumes grew, the team needed more choice and control over which data was routed where. “Whenever a department requested a new destination, like Microsoft Sentinel, admins had to drop whatever they were doing to reconfigure Splunk Universal Forwarders and syslog-ng servers,” the Senior Enterprise Architect says. “And data volume was approaching our Splunk license limits.” The tipping point came as the team started planning a migration to Splunk Cloud. “If we didn’t get data from our dozens of syslog-ng servers into a data pipeline, the migration would be a nightmare. We could no longer afford to not have an observability pipeline.”
“Splunk is one of many destinations, so it doesn’t make sense for it to own all of our data,” Senior Enterprise Architect says. “Edge Delta wasn’t proven, and the others aren’t supported. Only Cribl met our all our requirements as a cost-conscious government entity running critical online services.”
The team decided on a hybrid deployment, combining the convenience of Cribl.Cloud (software-as-a-service) with the ability to pull in on-prem data and utilize on-prem storage to comply with regulatory requirements. The City purchased Cribl through public-sector reseller Freeit Data Solutions, tapping Cribl Professional Services for deployment. The team also takes advantage of Cribl’s no-cost learning resources, like documentation, Cribl University, labs, sandboxes, and the Cribl Curious forum.
“Adding a new destination in Cribl typically takes just a few minutes,” says the Senior Enterprise Architect. “Now we can make forwarding decisions without bugging admins and interrupting their other work.”
“With Cribl.Cloud we don’t have to worry about under — or overestimating licensing needs because we pay only for what we use.”
“When we didn’t know about tagging we didn’t miss it,” said the Senior Enterprise Architect. “But now that we have tagging in Cribl we’d never give it up.”
“Before we had Cribl Stream, troubleshooting the CAD system meant a lengthy back-and-forth with the application owner to get access to databases and find buried log information,” says the Senior Enterprise Architect. “Now, with direct visibility into log data, application owners can quickly identify the source of performance issues to resolve them sooner.”
“Now that we have Cribl we won’t have to pester two dozen stakeholders to reconfigure their Universal Forwarders and syslog-ng servers,” the Senior Enterprise Architect says.
It’s estimated that Cribl will cut migration time in half and save approximately four hours of work for each of dozens of server admins.
New ideas just keep coming.
“With a centralized observability pipeline we can coach departments on what data they have and how they can use it to deliver better experiences,” the Senior Enterprise Architect says.
One idea: improve the work-from-home experience by using Cribl Edge to collect telemetry from end-user devices. (Installing Splunk Universal Forwarders on 15,000 endpoints isn’t practical.) The Team also wants to share log and event data with the City’s Data Science team to give them new sources of insights for improving resident services.
Summing up, the Senior Enterprise Architect says, “The biggest value of Cribl Stream for our city is opening people’s eyes to what data we have. Log data isn’t boring once you understand what you can do with it. Personally, it’s been very satisfying to optimize a very complex process to make government more efficient.”
