PRODUCT CAPABILITIES
Instant Visualization
Over 200 pre-built integrations for cloud services and out-of-the-box dashboards for rapid visualization of your entire stack. Autodiscover, breakdown, group, and explore clouds, services and systems. Quickly and easily understand how your infrastructure behaves across different services, availability zones, Kubernetes clusters and more.
Real-Time Actionable Alerts
Act before infrastructure performance affects end-user experience. With built-in data science, Splunk instantly and accurately alerts on dynamic thresholds, multiple conditions and complex rules to eliminate alert storms and dramatically reduce mean-time-to-detect.
Deep Business Insights
Answer business-critical questions like, “Are our services contributing to a good experience for the consumer?” Monitor SLOs and SLIs with instant, service-level insights. Additionally, custom metrics for business KPIs means you can track the number of products sold, cost per workload and more in real time.
Scale With Confidence
Analyze performance across hundreds of thousands of ephemeral components, multiple deployment environments, application versions and billions of events. Achieve DevOps agility with monitoring-as-code. Drive closed-loop automation such as auto-scaling to ensure a flawless end-user experience.
Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring Features
Analytics In-Flight
Unlike traditional systems that use a slow batch model to run analytics on metric time series, Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring applies analytics on metrics in-flight using a streaming pub/sub bus. When there is downtime, every second counts. Only a streaming architecture can ingest, analyze and alert quickly enough to keep small issues from impacting your customers in a big way.
Infrastructure and application performance are interdependent. To see the full picture, Splunk provides seamless correlation between cloud infrastructure and the microservices running on top of it. If your application acts out because of memory leakage, a noisy neighbor container or any other infrastructure-related issue, Splunk will let you know. To complete the picture, in-context access to Splunk logs and events enable deeper troubleshooting and root cause analysis.
Avoid Vendor Lock-In
Splunk Smart Agent is a lightweight, open-source- based agent for Linux and Windows with automated discovery of services, running on hosts and dynamic configuration of data collection plugins. Simple to set up, so you can get your monitoring service up and running quickly.
Visualize all infrastructure, apps, and services in one place
Splunk supplies hundreds of ready to use integrations with popular OSS, cloud infrastructure and services. Integrations automatically pull standard metrics from the services and feed them into pre-built dashboards for rapid visualization. Integrations go beyond just ingesting data to incident response systems, like Splunk On-Call for rapid issue resolution.
Splunk ingests metrics and metadata with integrations into all of the popular cloud providers and their services (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.) for fast time to value without the need to manage agents or plugins.
Visibility for Serverless Functions
Splunk monitors the most popular FaaS services (AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, Google Cloud Functions) with Function Wrappers that provide metrics on total invocations, errors, durations, etc. in seconds.
Real-Time Interactive Visualizations
Customizable Charts and Dashboards
Get started right away. Build real-time, high-resolution dashboards representing your entire cloud environment with just a few clicks. Customize visualization by cloning and editing from out-of-the-box, curated dashboards to highlight exactly what matters most.
Automate Dashboard Creation
Adopt monitoring-as-code by automatically building dashboards with Splunk APIs and SignalFlow Analytics Language.
Sophisticated Analytics Functions
Go beyond raw metric data and basic functions. Use over 20 sophisticated analytics functions to gain deeper understanding of patterns and trends.
Improve Team Collaboration
Effortlessly share charts or dashboards across your teams while maintaining granular access controls. Mirrored dashboards help maintain important consistency across the organization.
Alerting Built for Action
With built-in data science, Splunk instantly and accurately alerts on dynamic thresholds, multiple conditions, and complex rules to dramatically reduce MTTR. Splunk also enables predictive analysis, high cardinality slice and dice, and rich analysis of business metrics.
Alert on patterns and identify anomalies in seconds. Stop wasting time with legacy batch-based monitoring tools that can result in lengthy downtime or persistent performance issues.
Point and click alert conditions with dynamic thresholds and automatic baselining that leverages data science instead of static thresholds for no-noise alerts. Preview these alerts to simulate and fine-tune.
Best-in-class Kubernetes Monitoring
A turnkey and enterprise-grade monitoring solution for even the largest of Kubernetes environments.
Dynamic Cluster Maps
Automatically discover and visualize the Kubernetes objects, their health and performance of container resources with dynamic cluster maps and pre-built dashboards.
Faster Kubernetes Troubleshooting
Real-time and accurate alerting reduces mean-time-to-detect. Intuitive and hierarchical workflow across clusters, nodes, pods, containers and applications enables operators to quickly narrow down the root cause and understand correlations between application and infrastructure performance
Built for Enterprise DevOps
Self-service with control for moving at DevOps speed. Control costs with capacity limited tokens for self-service development and Ops teams. Enable access to dashboard detectors by certain users or teams.
Monitor use and avoid overages with detailed usage reports. Create Mirrored Dashboards from standard templates with automatic propagation of changes to maintain consistency across the organization. Support multiple teams with access controls, capacity limits and consolidated billing across the entire organization.
