Traipsing through data.
We use Splunk Log Observer to detect trends and to help solve problems if/when they occur. It also helps us with scheduling changes and maintenance based on load.
- Handles big data.
- Enables detailed search with queries.
- Gives a visual as well as detailed information.
- The query language isn't intuitive.
- None in particular.
- Splunk is a part in our toolbox and helpful that way.
- Not directly.
I had not considered other products because Splunk Log Observer was in use in my company before I started working there.

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.
- Query
- Splunk Dashboard.
- Alert & Notification.
- Different AZ's and env support.
- Quite positive if time works well and give logs on time.
- Negative when it becomes slow in critical timing. It impacts the business as it takes more time to get the root cause of undesirable output from code.
We believe that it's less vulnerable to security aspects as compared to others.
