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.

Splunk Log Observer is used to apply queries on logs recorded in Splunk Cloud platform. This helps us debug any business problems or outages in services or infrastructure issues easily by running the queries that doesn't require technical knowledge. The scope of the use case varies widely as it is used across the operational and support teams.

It helps us to investigate and understand the security incidents in a better way which helps to get the root cause of the alerts so that final conclusion can be made. I helps us to configure real time security alerts which helps us to act quickly and efficiently.

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.

We utilized Splunk Log Observer to handle technical operations for our production on-premise data centers and cloud instances. We switched to this product since our company needed a solution that allowed for real-time system monitoring. Our overall experience with this product has been incredibly positive.
