Log Analytics
For monitoring and reporting errors and failures in the application.
- Interactive dashboards
- Routine Reports generation
- Alerting on specific monitoring conditions
- SPL syntax could be better
- Visualization can be more customizable
we usually use the log observer to monitor/investigate our servers, cloud, and API logs as Splunk log observer gives pretty high and in-depth level of insights over my infrastructure which helps us track, manage, understand, resolve and prevent errors/attacks. Well understanding and sketching out a plan to resolve errors/attacks just by looking at logs is always a headache but Splunk log Observer really helps us pin point and gives us time to act on the issues.
- Providing in-depth insights
- A related content feature which really helps us to figure out which service is breaking the infrastructure.
- The Log explorer which helps us to explore the entire log and pin point the errors/issues.
- Fast and powerful log investigation
- An indicator for errors on the navigations pane so that we don't have to go through each tab.
- As we go more and more cloud maybe you guys can implement a pay-as-you-use strategy so that small companies using it not frequently can also afford it.
- That's it can't think of any and it wont let me skip to next question. Thanks

Splunk Report.
I used Splunk Log Observer for checking logs and debugging the development and production environment. I extensively used Splunk Log Observer alert, which helped me and my team to know if anything went wrong or unexpectedly broke the code with Exception. It is quite useful for debugging and involving team members to get alert and work towards that. We built the dashboard also using Splunk logs on Splunk Log Observer to ease debugging. But one business problem we used to face quite often with Splunk Log Observer with its response time. Sometimes, it used to become so slow to use. After escalating the problem with the Splunk team, it used to get fixed on half day time frame or sometimes full day time they used to take to fix the problem.
- Easy debugging.
- Dashboard support.
- Can be extended to different AZ and environment easily.
- Query based on different fields and timing.
- Improvement in response time.
- Quick resolve by Splunk in case of any issue.
- Some improvement on UI.
- Time zone based data search on timing params.

- Real-time system monitoring.
- Customized Dashboard for different use cases.
- Limited API functionality.
- Cloud version Splunk does not offer integration compared to that of the on-premise one.
