Overall Satisfaction with Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring

We use Splunk to monitor our AWS Infrastructure. For that, we send the AWS Cloud Watch group logs to Splunk for all the accounts we have.
Splunk facilitate us to troubleshooting issues inside AWS using the queries and dashboards.

Pros

  • Separate AWS accounts with. indexes
  • Go to detail of issues
  • Fast and reliable tool

Cons

  • Maybe sharing pre establish queries to other members of the team in the same session.
  • Possibility to customize the main dashboard
  • Better free training for sure!
  • Pre-defined queries make faster find solutions
  • Centralized logs
  • Help to find errors in multiple platforms at the same time
New Relic has more deep into the application using agents.
We try to use them in parallel to find errors in the infrastructure.

No critical stuff is monitored.
We only use individual accounts and they are not part of a team inside Splunk
We don't use them
Suitable for multiple AWS accounts / AWS services
