We mostly work with developers. They run some pipelines, and they use Splunk as a platform to identify the errors, instead of themselves debugging the logs and understanding what the issue is. This is one side of the business. On the other side of the business, we use the Splunk database for frozen buckets where we archive the data. We can easily integrate it with other tools for monitoring our entire IT data infrastructure. I also handle AppDynamics. We have integrated Splunk and AppDynamics. With one click, we can understand what the actual issue is. It brings down the time to resolve. We have had some good experiences.

We use Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring to get an overview of what's happening in our customers' infrastructure. We're monitoring our servers, network, IoT devices, etc. We're a service provider, so the solution is installed in one place.

We have used Splunk to give us insight into the NetFlow of the traffic running through our network. We connect different networks but we only use on-prem. We are in the middle of a spider web, providing these services to different networks. We are trying to gain visibility into the traffic that traverses our network internally. We are interested in the traffic volume because the services we are looking at are endpoint-encrypted, meaning encrypted traffic between a service provider and a client in another network. So we are not able to look into the media stream. The networks we are connecting have their own security boundaries and their own security levels, and we don't mess with that. We are just trying to let them talk together. We have been using Splunk for monitoring who is logging in and how and when.

We primarily use the solution for network monitoring and to identify threats. It is a security measure.

Our primary use case for this solution is as a supplement to Dynatrace, so the log analytics is done in Splunk instead of Dynatrace.

Our use cases have not been completely sorted and executed. In that case, if this has been done and we know the way forward, the stabilization is more complete. This is not yet stabilized, and I would say at the moment, the focus is more on creating alerts and incidents, rather than how the user can view Splunk ITSI. That focus has not yet been set. Once it is done, I think that would help.

Splunk sends security alerts. It's being used on two levels. One for the analysis of the data by the data scientists. Two, for the engineers to troubleshoot if there are any issues happening, like any security bugs, or anything that needs to be addressed and never mediated across.

The data from Splunk is used for network monitoring, apart from that, they are using another tool with this kind of logic as well. Splunk is not the primary tool. The database I'm using for real-time data for our client. We have only about 3-4 users on this solution.

We primarily use the solution for event management. We have a baseline that we monitor, and if anything goes wrong, we manage it.

The solution is primarily used as security correlation and event correlation. It's a place for all of your logs to go so that you can have all those logs co-ordinated during security events.

The primary use case of this solution is for security management. We gather security logs from intrusion detection and prevention systems, such as firewalls, web application firewalls, and system logs from Linux and Windows servers, as well as anti-malware system logs. We combine them with Splunk to analyze our security level for our company. We use this data to analyze our company security situation and to define security use cases, like attacks. When we find these attacks, we contain them and mitigate our security flaws in our business environment.

For us, we use this product to create a special kind of log. It just logs everything for what it is monitoring and does the parsing afterward based on a packet that you impose on the logs. Then you can extract the data out of the fields that the logs normally comprised of. Typically, people just monitor applications, network infrastructure, and compliance.
