SignalFx Infrastructure Monitoring

Overall Satisfaction with Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring, formerly SignalFx

I use Splunk Monitoring as a primary monitoring tool in our Cloud Infrastructure. The data is pushed from the agent to Splunk Server. We manage all of the Dashboard in the Splunk UI. Also for Incident management, we use detectors from Splunk and some custom-made detectors. Also, alerts are pushed as incidents to Pagerduty and ServiceNow.

Pros

  • SignalFx Agent Easy Installation. We have many examples of installing SignalFx via Ansible, Chef, and Packer.
  • Manu type of detectors for all the Cloud (AWS , Azure and GCP).
  • Signal Flow - Support for Creating Detectors using the Programming Interface.

Cons

  • Documentation and tutorials for Beginners for starting to learn SignalFX / Splunk.
  • Improved developer productivity.
  • Better management of detectors.
  • Using code for configuring SignalFX.
Splunk is better for Multicloud and UI is very good as compared to other Solutions. Also, time saving in case of Developer Productivity as Detectors can be saved as code.

Yes

Did Splunk Observability Cloud live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Splunk Observability Cloud go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Splunk Observability Cloud again?

Yes

We used real time usage visibility and alerting for sending out alerts to Pagerduty and ServiceNow to integrate monitoring and Incident Resolution. Also, our Automation Platform uses those alerts for Source of Information.
We are using Google as Identity Provider and to access different organisations are managed using the Google groups.
We used the other tools to avoid deduplication of the Alerts. And for some specific types of alerts we are exporting the Data from the Splunk itself so that we don't have to Login into the Server.
Data aggregation in the once account for all the customers and various service providers. I don't have to switch to different accounts which is really time-saving.
