What you need to know about Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring

Describe how you use Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring in your organization? This product helps our team maintain uptime on systems. What are the business problems the product addresses and what is the scope of your use case? by monitoring the systems that we have in all our environments we rarely lose sight of the information we are trying to keep. The scope of our use case would be considered large.

we have benefited by having more of a real-time monitoring system that allows us to see when a system goes down or when a system would be having a problem with something like a port check even. also, all of the data that is recorded allows us to communicate well with management so they understand what this product does for us.

this has been an easy tool for us to train up new people on and that has been a positive for management. I would say there is a steep learning curve at the end of it and that would be a negative. We have had management start to understand what this can offer and ask for more from us.

we have avoided a lot of false positives and alert storms but at this point, we still see those things. I think that if we continue on the path that this tool has provided us we should see even fewer false positives and alert storms. something I would say is we can identify those alerts easily and soon after fixing those issues.
