Great way to correlate notable events from existing Splunk datasets as well as external systems
We are utilising ITSI to monitor the health of our business operations and IT services. We use a range of KPI approaches to capture business health for stakeholder reporting, as well as lower level IT Ops monitoring of hardware and microservices.
- Reducing alerting noise
- Improving visibility of services
- Great for finding root cause of issues
- Should be easier to build notable events with rich data
- It should be possible to build custom dashboards with standard ITSI UI components

Base User who inspires to be a Power User
My organization has used Splunk for many years however my
team just started ingesting our data. We started off small and are figuring out
what Splunk can do. Once you have the correct search results, the power is
incredible. We can see how many calls come into our network, what errors are
occurring and where exactly they are. In fact, for the first time, we used our
dashboard (which hasn't been made public to the rest of the organization yet)
to troubleshoot a possible outage. The on-call person opened the dashboard, and
we knew right away it wasn't our team’s issue. The time we saved by not
manually pulling calls from SQL, looking for errors within those calls, and
simply digging through our network to find where the issue was occurring
allowed the on-call person to immediately open a ticket with a vendor. We were
able to show when the issue started, where the issue was, and defer to the
vendor even though they had not seen the issue. If we can find this with the
little data we are ingesting, just imagine what we can do with more. The
possibilities are endless!
- laying out dashboards to quickly see data
- Providing a trending map to see data over time
- Drilling down to find things you didn't even know you needed
- I'm not sure if it's my organization locking down Splunk or Splunk itself but it would be helpful to get more detailed errors when searching. A way of guiding the correct input to get results.
- Something like SQL IntelliSense - the feature reads internal metadata and lists all of the available objects and their properties, thereby helping people effectively and quickly write SPL.
- Personalization for things like saving reports, datasets, dashboards of others
Splunk IT Service Intelligence is the primary tool for assessing the health and stability of our online footprint on a daily basis and especially during the peak holiday sales season. It is integral to monitoring web servers, applications, databases, and more. Now we are expanding into AI Ops.
- Deep dive flexibility
- Integration machine learning
- Bulk entity import
- Adaptive thresholding
- Multitenant

Used the product
We use this solution as the main tool for our NOC and love the ability to assign events to an employee for further analysis and play booking. It takes a lot of elbow grease to set up and it doesn’t seem to be an offering that Splunk pours its innovative efforts into.
- Glass tables
- KPI health scores
- Swim lane insights
- Better training
- Would be nice to be able to add screenshots to note fields for employees working on episodes

ITSI provides the value in IT monitoring
ITSI is a competitive tool that helps with highlighting issues and more importantly where the root cause lies. There is not much of a learning curve to get value out of ITSI, especially compared to the competitors out there. Spunks user groups are also a big help for quick responses.
- Out of the box value
- Problem identification
- Root cause analysis
- Better highlight what you can click on and what is static.

- Deploy your own analytics in threat detection.
- Architecture is scalable.
- Health score calculation.
- Should support Saas UEBA.
- Pricing should be bundled and not on the number of employees.
- A security model could be added to the UI.

All your performance metrics in one place
Splunk IT Service Intelligence is used by development teams I work with to monitor their systems by ingesting performance data from other applications and providing output that can be read and archived in easily accessible formats. It keeps them aware of any performance anomalies during high traffic and peak events.
- Works well with different data import formats such as csv and .data.

Great addition to your organization!
Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) is used to monitor our infrastructure using glass tables to provide a quick overview of the health of our environment. Its gives an overview for all of IT services as a one-stop shop, tying together various areas with IT that were in silos previously.
- Ties together various areas of IT which were previously siloed

ITSI Enables Rapid Incident Resolution at Scale
We use Splunk IT [Service Intelligence (ITSI)] to help reduce the reliance on institutional knowledge and put real-time actionable information in the hands of technicians troubleshooting a production problem. ITSI will help us to ensure that our recent hires are able to identify root causes to an ongoing incident as quickly as our more seasoned team members. ITSI allows us to layer information from various sources into a single pane of glass view of our entire topology.
- ITSI visualizes the dependency topology and layers in data
- ITSI grabs data from many disparate sources and creates an integrated view
- ITSI provides real-time insights by showing a timelines of metrics layered across various transactions
- ITSI really needs a robust splunk log ingestion infrastructure at its core
- ITSI requires a great engineering team to build out the automated discovery and topology
- Unless you use an API to build the topology, the view can quickly become static

Enterprise ITSI at Scale. The Thoughts of a Team Lead.
We currently leverage ITSI across our entire IT organization. It is primarily used for event management and aggregation of events to drive incident creation and self healing automation.
- Clean user interface
- Easy to build new integrations
- Flexible and can be catered to your specific use case
- The terminology takes some getting used to: Aggregation policies, notable events, correlation searches, glass tables. If you're not familiar with ITSI, these terms can be a bit overwhelming and steepens the learning curve.
- We have had some technical issues with the underlying support when used in a multisite cluster. We've had to build in several points of redundancy to make sure it works as expected.
- I'd like to see additional types of notable events, like informational events that come in for when an incident is created or when an alert is acknowledged so all of those action steps can be viewed on the episode timeline without affecting the count of events.

ITSI converts your underutilized Splunk data into powerful KPIs and visibility, once you master its complexities
ITSI is used by our business unit in order to provide operational visibility into all our Splunk data. Splunk does a great job of aggregating data into a single searchable dataset, but Splunk Enterprise alerts are disjointed from one another and there are too many metrics we would need to alert on in Splunk Enterprise to be manageable. ITSI provides a framework to define the IT services that matter to you, such as the health of a server, an application, or a client, constantly monitor the KPIs that make up the health of that IT service, and organize all of so that is it operationally easy to view the health of all services yet easy to drill down to a specific server or process experiencing a problem.
- Monitor hundreds of IT services by continuously tracking thousands of KPIs in a scalable way.
- Quickly identify problem areas by a combination of default visualizations and ability to create custom dashboards.
- Extremely configurable to effectively monitor nearly any KPI imaginable from Splunk.
- The extreme flexibility also makes it highly complex. Expert Splunk users are required to make full use of it.
- Documentation is insufficient and does not cover advanced use cases that ITSI is capable of supporting.
- Depending on how ITSI is configured, it can place heavy load on Splunk infrastructure. ITSI performance can be optimized in many ways but they are not always obvious.
- ITSI Events/Alerts (AKA Episode Review) has flexibility in it but still not as flexible as desired. However this can be compensated by directly querying ITSI's result data in Splunk.

Splunk ITSI FTW
Score 9 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
Splunk ITS Service Intelligence is used to consolidate alerts from various IT tools. Along with other logs and performance data, it is used by infrastructure operations, application developers, DevOps and other stakeholders to quickly see service health of applications and the IT infrastructure components. It helps eliminate data silos and having to reach out to individual teams managing point solutions.
- Show KPIs for each service.
- Show aggregated health scores.
- Increase transparency across large disparate organizations.
- Multiple ways to ingest the same data can be confusing (events vs. metrics).
- Glass tables can be a conflicting priority against normal Splunk dashboards.
- Proper setup for alerting requires content packs that could be included with the product directly.
- A separate license for ITSI on top of Splunk may make purchasing decisions difficult to justify.

Splunk IT Service Intelligence review
We tried to use Splunk IT Service Intelligence to create a single pane of glass to monitor the health of our Splunk infrastructure. It works well and displays us the end to end view of our Splunk IT Service Intelligence infrastructure. It had been used within our team only today; however, it is a plan to demonstrate this to another team.
- Detecting outliers
- Detecting abnormal behavior
- The learning curve is not as smooth as Splunk Enterprise
