Use Cases and Deployment Scope

This Product is very helpful to monitor Microsoft , Oracle and and other OS-related alerts including the Audit logging

Pros and Cons

We get timely and restricted alerts in a daily and hourly basis
It help us to store the log history for 30-90 days
We don't have to worry anymore to store those logs on the local database servers

Sometimes the OS process takes lots of CPU and Memory. When we have to restart that Splunk process on those local hosts
More user friendly Web interface will be nice to have
a PDF format option will be good

Return on Investment

It gave us more quicker alerts in a organize way to distribute to specific audience.
Helped us to improve our uptime by getting pro-active alerts via emails
More collaboration in a DevOps culture

Now we have more visibility with our Alerts. We are also now able to share some of that information with the Business stakeholders where they can take some actions to remediate the issues at their end
