Overall Satisfaction with Splunk Enterprise
We send the logs for most of our devices to Splunk, so that's going to be routers, switches, firewalls, f5, and they are collected in Splunk. And whenever there's any sort of outage, we're investigating an issue or troubleshooting a problem, we utilize Splunk to combine all of our efforts and see if we can identify what the problem is using the Splunk logging. So it's quite helpful in that regard.
Pros
- One thing that Splunk does particularly well is that it gives an excellent view of historical data. So let's say that we identify an issue that happens earlier in the morning, but we suspect that this may be a recurrence of that problem and we can specifically bring in, because we can look at a huge amount of historical data from multiple points of views, we can basically graph out any possible instance of that problem happening in the past. As long as we have that data.
Cons
- One area of improvement I would say is that there are some situations where the logs are missing from our devices where it gets forwarded to Splunk, but there's a problem with the forwarders and some indications where it's not functioning as we have expected to, would definitely be an improvement.
- It's had quite positive impacts. It's allowed us to create more effective monitoring and respond quickly to when issues happen. So whenever there's an impactful event, we get on a large call with multiple teams and one of the first things that we do is we check Splunk logs, we check our dashboards in Splunk and that enables us to quickly identify what the problem is and create a solution for it.
