Senior Software Engineer at Wipro Limited

In my previous project, I successfully led the end-to-end deployment of a Splunk migration. The process went smoothly thanks in part to Splunk's professional services team. They conducted a thorough assessment, identified all our potential pain points, and developed a tailored solution and migration plan. This comprehensive approach ensured a seamless transition. Our core deployment team consisted of 5 internal members and two specialists from Splunk. Additionally, the project included a project manager and a product owner. We also benefited from the expertise of two professional service consultants and two representatives from the customer's side. An on-site admin architect further provided valuable technical support. Throughout the deployment process, we leveraged support from various resources whenever necessary. This included assistance with configuration changes, deployments, and other related tasks. We also collaborated effectively with our teammates to ensure a smooth and successful implementation.

When configuring a dashboard, we can write search criteria. Based on the search criteria, the dashboard shows all the alerts, including the alert time, creation time, and a summary description of the alert. When you add an extra column, such as the user that triggered the alert, the next time he refreshes the dashboard, he wants to know that the alert is acknowledged. We want to improve that comment feature. In the Service Analyzer, we monitor the network infrastructure services and have a KPI for each service. When the value exceeds the threshold value, we can add the colors. For example, we can set it to green when the threshold value is within the limit. If it is red, then the value has passed the threshold. We want more colors in the service analyzer to display all these features.

JOEL MUNDOH

Splunk Administrator / Architect at MetLife

Our organization was looking for a security monitoring tool. I use Splunk ITSI as a monitoring and security tool. It helps me to protect data and prevent malware and hackers from accessing my environment. Splunk ITSI can be used to protect our role and infrastructure. It can also provide insights into how and what is helpful within our infrastructure. Splunk ITSI provides great end-to-end visibility into our network environment. It can identify the exact root cause of an issue without any additional troubleshooting on my part. Predictive analytics is valuable for preventing incidents before they occur because it allows me to see when the data stopped being indexed, which saves me time from having to investigate. Splunk ITSI makes it easier to secure our entire infrastructure. Before Splunk ITSI, our environment was chaotic. Splunk ITSI streamlines our incident management by providing a financial report of all applications in our environment. Splunk ITSI has helped us reduce alert noise. After configuring ITSI, we set certain parameters based on our alerts. These alerts are the conditions that ITSI uses to automatically reduce noise. Splunk ITSI helps to reduce our mean time to detect by monitoring key performance indicators such as CPU overload and the percentage of use revenue trend. On average the automation has reduced our mean time to detect by five minutes. Splunk ITSI significantly reduces our mean time to resolve because most of our time was previously spent troubleshooting. With ITSI, we don't have to troubleshoot at all. Splunk ITSI can help reduce downtime, but the extent of its effectiveness depends on how it is implemented.
