Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring like a boss
1.
Determine what custom logs you wish to capture.
2.
Note and document the paths that the logs are located.
3.
Note and document the hosts that contain those logs (IP, short hostname,
FQDN)
4.
Gather sample log files
5.
Check for application guidance for Splunk ingest (i.e. iis
logs require a specific configuration so that logs are readable inside Splunk,
some application can utilize http event collector, etc.)

Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring Review
All logs are sent to Splunk. Different applications may use Splunk more than others, but some apps are monitoring core infrastructure, back end app servers, front end servers, databases and many other parts of the application. Most applications have alerting set up through Splunk. Anytime a search condition is triggered an alert is sent into service now through our Splunk integration.

Great monitoring tool for web application and API tools
As the engineering team, we use Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring mainly to monitor the application usage and system load (DevOps) together. We do share some metrics with other teams within the organization (marketing, BizDev, Product, and so on) mainly to understand our user usage and main flow.

Good Splunk helps us!
We use Splunk to monitor our AWS Infrastructure. For that, we send the AWS Cloud Watch group logs to Splunk for all the accounts we have.

All in one monitoring system
We use Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring to deliver real-time monitoring and troubleshooting across our many platforms. Real-time streaming analytics gives us instant visualization, alerts, as well as insights, and troubleshooting steps. Being able to see our infrastructure in real-time allows us to troubleshoot possible performance issues cutting down on the turnaround time or any effects on the customers.
I aid other organisations in setting the direction and infrastructure for their cloud transformation work and in achieving their goals. As part of this, a big part is getting good monitoring going to protect against failures and, importantly, to prevent them or remediate them before customers experience them. Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring has always been my top recommendation because of the value it offers in aggregating data from many different areas and allowing them to be correlated to pinpoint exactly where a problem is happening.
We use SO to monitor Azure and on-prem resources. We also leverage APM to monitor application health. We host a variety of products from an API Gateway to Claims Engines. SO enables us to proactively monitor issues across our micro-services hosted in a hybrid infrastructure.

Splunk as the Monitoring Tool of Choice
We use Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring to keep track of hundreds and hundreds of device endpoints. With the Universal Forwarder deployed to these endpoints, my team gains visibility into each of these devices that we have never had in the past. We can also customize the exact data we receive from each device or group of devices. The monitoring helps to detect the exact instance a device has a problem, and in some cases automatically remediate the issue.

observability
To gain observability over a distributed higher education environment is so important - and this product helps build that infostructure map that the organization requires to keep the lights on and make steering decisions.
All our alerts are from our Network. All our applications point to Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring for alerts and logs. Very useful and productive application and a must-have for all organizations. Very granular and powerful tool that can be used by the air department to monitor and save logs for all cases needed.

Splunk consulting and user experience
We use for a leading financial services client to monitor the on Prem servers - their health, thresholds, and alerts and come up with risk mitigation and backup strategies. Without this product, there were multiple teams performing manual operations and they were often silos of data. Splunk centralized the whole monitoring and management part

Splunk review
I use Splunk Monitoring as a primary monitoring tool in our Cloud Infrastructure. The data is pushed from the agent to Splunk Server. We manage all of the Dashboard in the Splunk UI. Also for Incident management, we use detectors from Splunk and some custom-made detectors. Also, alerts are pushed as incidents to Pagerduty and ServiceNow.

Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring Review
Their visualizations of all different kinds of data are great. has been very useful for more complex charts. This helps me choosing what metrics I report and how often. They are growing and looking to provide more and more features. We plan on using many of these new features as they are released.
Our company decided to implement Splunk within all business units couple of years back. I have found Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring to be incredibly useful in giving us deep insights into what is happening within our systems and our network. The metric interface is intuitive and powerful and the agent was very easy to configure, package and deploy.

Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring Review
We use Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring across enterprises as a standard infrastructure monitoring solution for various mission-critical business application systems. We had set up pub/sub architecture to collect streaming analytical data. We mostly use it for on-premises devices. Operations teams rely on its alerting capabilities to ensure system uptime and act on some proactive metrics like CPU utilization and disk spaces full, etc.

One of the best Infrastructure Monitoring Tools
Our team has used Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring for a BFSI client to do monitoring of all the production, UAT, and development environments. Also, we have used it for monitoring the Linux virtual machines. We are able to run automated scripts on all the servers to monitor the usage patterns and heavy load time throughout the day.
We are using Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring (formerly SignalFx) in our R&D department to monitor our infrastructure and services. We configured a baseline of parameters and set an alert if it changes.
We’re using Splunk [Infrastructure Monitoring (formerly SignalFx)] to report real-time metrics when the number/percentage of a specific event is important. For example, we use it to detect error cases or monitor real-time throughout of the system. We also use the detectors to get alerts when the condition is met. It’s widely used by almost all engineering teams

Great product
We [are] using [Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring (formerly SignalFx)] in order to help us monitor our service health and diagnose issues that big data can help with.
This is one of the most advanced tools I've used for the matter, I was always able to find a way to show the data I need in a manner that will expose the info I'm looking for, adding alerts based on this is a killer feature. The only drawback I find is that you might have a [steep] learning curve in order to control this tool.

Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring Review
[Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring (formerly SignalFx)] is being used across the entire organization for many purposes such as continuous monitoring of cloud resources and application statuses. It addresses business problems that require us to get timely notifications for events occurring within our infrastructure and address them accordingly. In my own department, our continuous monitoring tools rely on SFX reports.
The whole organization is using it to monitor our applications: CPU usage, memory consumption, sometimes JVM metrics. Mostly we use it to alert us when applications go down.
SignalFX is used as the primary monitoring and alerting solution for our infrastructure and application metrics. It is used by engineering and solves the business problem of incident detection and/or prevention.
