Overall Satisfaction with Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring

All logs are sent to Splunk. Different applications may use Splunk more than others, but some apps are monitoring core infrastructure, back end app servers, front end servers, databases and many other parts of the application. Most applications have alerting set up through Splunk. Anytime a search condition is triggered an alert is sent into service now through our Splunk integration.

Pros

  • Alerting quickly and correctly
  • High data integrity
  • Providing real user monitoring
  • Quick log searching

Cons

  • Sometimes Splunk inexplicably doesn't alert when it should.
  • Price is high
  • I haven't seen a way to automatically dashboard, a range of similar events. A particular host for example
  • Price is high and Splunk is a significant investment l
  • Alerts are quick and reduce mttr
  • Logs are robust and provide high visibility
Splunk is superior in many ways to these solutions when I'm comes to ingesting, storing, manipulating, and using data, but dynatraces automatic agents do make it much easier to use out of the box. Nagios seems much cheaper but does not provide as much functionality as Splunk. AppD provides a single area where all host stats can be viewed, but is difficult to instrument.
