Splunk for Log Monitoring

Comentarios: Splunk is best data monitoring and visualization tool. We can set alert for log and monitor log . It provides different modes for searching Fast, Smart and verbose. By using Splunk we are getting all system log in one place .Splunk has capability to handle large and big size data. It has best GUI , one can easily adopt and do customization and based on requirments.

Puntos a favor:

We are using Splunk for log monitoring . It is integrated with Kubernetes and pivot cloud via data bus. By Splunk we get Realtime log application. It provides best visualization of data generated by system. Splunk also provide option to filter data based on data range and time. We can configure email alert for specific issue. Splunk also provide ML model for data. Splunk use simple query to get data ,everyone can easily learn Splunk query.

Contras:

I haven't found any issue yet the only problem with Splunk I have that log in Splunk is scattered . We need to build good query or better logging mechanism at application side.

Splunk Enterprise, not just a SIEM

Comentarios: We have been using Splunk Enterprise, ES, ITSI, and other Splunk parts for 6+ years in production. This has helped us reduce staff in some cases, increase response time in most cases, and allow non-IT teams to get data and metrics in a fast efficient way.

Puntos a favor:

The versatility is amazing. The same data in logs, such as IIS, can be used for Security, Application performance, and even error handling. This allows us to use one log to help multiple teams. This is just one example.

Contras:

Start up takes someone who has had some training. While searching and output is easy, its the onboarding of custom apps that takes the know how.

Powerful SIEM system that meets our expectations.

Comentarios: We are using Splunk Enterprise for log correlation, the analytics are accurate and it catches errors right away which improves our internal capabilities, it is a special service that collects data from different data sources very accurately to catch future issues, the reports are detailed and understandable. It has features that streamline manual work, improve our security and our protection in our IT infrastructure.

Puntos a favor:

I really like the platform, the data collection is ideal and the reports are detailed, it is the most appropriate SIEM service to monitor our IT infrastructure, it is an ideal software to take preventive measures, it is easy to customize the dashboards, the monitoring is constant and it gives us security in real time, the alerts are accurate and it helps us understand what is happening and fix it before it becomes serious.

Contras:

It is a somewhat expensive service but with more powerful features than other free SIEM systems, and it is a bit complex to set up and use for inexperienced users, so a lot of help should be sought from experienced staff and support team at first.

Spunk Review

Puntos a favor:

It allows me to bring a lot of information into one friendly view. It's a great security audit tool.

Contras:

It has limited functionality. It is a very memory intensive system. It does not integrate with Lennox.

A better business companion when integrated with RPA

Comentarios: Overall, the experience was positive; even with a free trial license, it was much easier, and on the course and certification side, Splunk has a very good collection of videos and materials that help even a novice quickly setup the integration and indexing.

Puntos a favor:

The most useful thing about Splunk is the ease of integration with application. With uipath on-premises it was very much helpful as the business users can monitor the actions of robots through spluink without entering into uipath orchestrator

Contras:

Expression creation for indexing was bit hard as it is not user-friendly to business users if they wanted to create any new fields, also the forwarder was not able to directly connect with uipath cloud so that the logs has to be shifted to intermediate file before uploading into splunk, but that seems not an issue with splunk but more related to uipath cloud

An excellent SIEM at a low cost

Comentarios: We have many programs that measure the performance and quality of the operation, of the production in chevron, I think it is important that they give extra barriers to what we do and splunk is an optimal collaborator so that we can track all these programs and not get intrusions through the network.

Puntos a favor:

It is a very subtle program, when generating the setup it is not necessary to have a great knowledge of programming to install it, but to solve some configuration errors, when you start what I like the most is that you start from day one to organize your applications, then From that you can easily configure cybersecurity for each program, I particularly like the monitoring of data programs and that the program alerts you with notifications so that you see errors that sometimes jumps in the program.

Contras:

What I don't like and I see that it is something widespread is that it has very poor support in technical help, I think that the old technical support collaborators have left and people who are not so qualified have arrived to answer the tickets.For my part it is not a big problem since I am a researcher and with the information that is on the splunk website it is enough for me to generate the resolutions of problems.

Great platform for data analysis and visualization

Comentarios: Splunk Enterprise is a great data analysis and visualization platform to show real time status with live dashboards.

Puntos a favor:

Security Information and Event management, log analytics, custom dashboards and workspaces

Contras:

Auto upgrade management and notifications for Add-ons. Leaning more towards config file based implementation instead of UI based implementation

Log management

Comentarios: I have been using Splunk Enterprise for a few years now and I am very happy with it. Splunk is a powerful tool that has allowed me to quickly analyze large amounts of data and identify patterns and insights.

Puntos a favor:

Splunk is very robust with being able to search network traffic, create dashboards and automate reports and alerts. It allows users and admins to solve many problems. Our company has created several alerts for when people on the network download any files that look like they could be a virus, or if they are using illegal software, or trying to login with wrong passwords constantly.

Contras:

I least like that Splunk is expensive and often requires a significant upfront investment. Additionally, the complexity of the product can be a challenge for new users, as it takes time to learn how to use the product effectively.

Splunk Enterprise Review

Comentarios: Good overall experience. It’s an expensive product and there is a learning curve, but it’s an amazing ing product once you are accustomed to using it

Puntos a favor:

The ability to set up queries and get data back quickly is invaluable

Contras:

Learning to structure queries is a bit of a challenge in the beginning

Best log monitoring

Puntos a favor:

While Microsoft didnt provide a centralized log monitoring for enterprise machines, Splunk filled the gap. It is good one stop console to monitor logs on your every server.

Contras:

Reports can be more user friendly and descriptive.

A powerful log aggregation solution with immensely useful tools built-in for popular applications.

Puntos a favor:

- Free to use for small 500MB or less daily ingress, quite nice for small use cases and learning - No development work required to deploy and provide value. - Deployment flexibility: client agents are available to use, or clientless configurations for multiple OS platforms. It's also very easy to deploy, not just flexible. its a very simple affair. - Segmentation of logs: You can create separate instances of of logs to aggregate, based on organization needs. And those instances can have their own individual storage policies to optimize consumption of storage resources. - Configuration design: Thoughtful and mature documentation and design of the application regarding enterprise-class scaling on network storage. -POWERFUL tools: The user interface lends itself to learning more about your organization from the logs you collect, through metrics of trends of the logs being gathered. There are also specific modules/add-ons for popular applications to provide more value and event-based monitoring, all without having to develop in-house dashboards and intelligence of those logs. - Customization: You can create your own queries of logs, and event-based alerts. - Web-based GUI that clean is powerful - Sales/Technical Reps are top notch in fielding questions and evaluating environment for deployment. They were extremely helpful in helping our organization develop procedures and scaling our environment for expansion with our existing infrastructure.

Contras:

- Price: This product is not free for more than the minimal use. Pricing can be very expensive, relative to open source offerings. That is the trade-off you pay for not having in-house development of open source offerings. As this product is priced based on gigabytes of indexed logs, it is important to understand the scope of licensing necessary for your environment to determine if it is a good fit for your organization. - Watch your saved queries and hardware resources: Users have the ability to create and save queries. Like in database queries, some are more efficient than others. Large inefficient queries can be very resource-intensive. If you notice slowness in day-to-day queries, or navigation in the UI, or resource use in contention, keep an eye on saved queries and user practices.

Great, wholistic centralized monitoring solution

Comentarios: I've been using Splunk for over 8 years. I've seen it constantly improve and change a lot. I do enjoy it. Cloud is getting better and much better parity with on-prem

Puntos a favor:

We use this as our SIEM. The ability to have the data ingest, visualization, alerting and correlation all in one product is very important to me from a security standpoint. We're cloud-first so having that ability with large cloud providers is important to me (AWS, Okta, GCP, etc)

Contras:

The cost can be a little concerning and htere is a bit of a learning curve when you first get into Splunk. User groups, their forum and pro serv all help with that.

Splunk the best analytic tool

Comentarios: It gives best Return on Investment as analyzing the data and giving proper insights in form of Dashboards and notifying with help of Alerts if any kind of threat running in infrastructure and apart from that Deployment and use is very easy.

Puntos a favor:

There are lot of features which Splunk offers - 1) We can onboard data from any server, device or system using Universal Forwarder 2) Onboarded data are later stored in Indexers and searched further in Search Head for analyzing the internal logs 3) Using the data we can create customizable Dashboards and get proper insights of data and create Alerts to identify any kind of Threat or anomalies running in environment 4) Deployment is very easy on-prem servers 5) We can also use Hybrid Deployment on Cloud as well.

Contras:

1) As it give large amount of features but licensing is too high 2) There are lot of other Open Source software which can be used as alternative of Splunk as Analytic tool because Splunk is paid one.

Get useful insights into your logs with Splunk Enterprise.

Comentarios: We majorly use Splunk enterprise for IT security and log analysis. It is a powerful log analytics solution. We use it to collect data from several sources, analyze and transform it into meaningful metrics.

Puntos a favor:

Its been a while since I started using Splunk Enterprise. I love its ability to cumulate data and logs from multiple sources and correlate them to help find incidents and their root cause. It consolidates logs and manages them form a central place. It is a great tool for log analysis as it segregates data and provides in depth profiling. Splunk enterprise also automates alerts and indexes on logs received.

Contras:

It has a complex architecture making the learning curve quite steep

Excellent product

Puntos a favor:

It is an easy to use solution, the implementation is a bit more difficult.

Contras:

So far, this is a good solution that I use every day.

Great log analysis software

Puntos a favor:

Integrates with almost all the software seamlessly..where there is a software application that produces log, splunk can be easily integrated. Gives very powerful insights into the logs Alerts can be setup on the logs, and notifications sent out which is great again for managing the health of your application

Contras:

The query language, though powerful, has a learning curve. Particularly as one goes towards complex queries. If it could be made closer to natural language, it would be so much smoother to learn. Hope that will happen sometime in future.

A tool that every sys admin needs to have

Puntos a favor:

I'm not sure from where to start in this case. We use splunk for many things but mostly to analyze the traffic on the network / firewalls. It provides us with a nice overview of what's going on. It makes it very easy to spot spikes on the network and it will provide you also with deep analyzes. For us it's an indispensable tool, probably the best tool we have.

Contras:

To search for something is not always easy, however there are a lot of forums online, so finding help is not that difficult.

This is the tool every devops should have expertise on!

Comentarios: Made life easier for all SRE/DevOps oncall.

Puntos a favor:

First of all you don't need to login to your servers. Just configure splunk forwarder on all of your server and have peace of mind. During outages you dont have to panic and just rely on Splunk and be sure that you will have your root cause visible in splunk.

Contras:

Kernel huge page issues, Search head clustering, Index clusetering. These features are as good as costly too. For SHC and IC it does need all same config hosts.

Splunk Enterprise Reivew

Comentarios: My overall experience with splunk is too good. It helps our organization to set a real time monitoring system which keeps checking our server health and alert us if anything goes wrong. So, team can quickly resolve the issue and minimize the business impact.

Puntos a favor:

Real Time monitoring is the best feature which we like most about this software. It helps to send the notification or alerts if they are something wrong is going on in the server. So, team member can quickly resolve the issue.

Contras:

As of now, i don't have anything which i don't like about this software.

An excellent tool fol log analysis

Puntos a favor:

Splunk is a great enterprise-class tool for log analysis and troubleshooting of IT systems. Its graphics capabilities allow you to easily see trends that would otherwise go unnoticed. With a single click, you can retrieve information dating back months ago. Splunk is able to handle any type of input file and this allowed us to get very rapid prototyping cycles. Compared to the competition, it has integrated AD authentication, which fits in perfectly with our corporate security. The software is very fast, even on second-tier hardware.

Contras:

The license fee is a little too high. Some sections of the support site contain outdated information. Since the Splunk syntax has changed over the years, it's quite easy to find information that is no longer relevant. The "basic" charting options are somewhat limited, and the "advanced graphic" syntax requires a charting guru.

One of the best place to check large amount of the logs information.Every companies best tool.

Comentarios: make our business life easy

Puntos a favor:

The best thing about this software is i love its UI part and its dashboard where it provides the logs of all the enterprise application every business which has large amount of the transactions being held are required to maintain this tool and its logging and search frequency are very much loved and dash board has very colourful UI and easily understandable

Contras:

There is no least about this software but we are looking for some more enhanced featured like optimisation and all

Very cool but pricey

Puntos a favor:

Splunk integrates with many different solutions. They also have pre written apps that contain pre written dashboards and other features. It can inherit logs from many products with just several clicks.

Contras:

Pricing model is outdated and can get really pricey really fast. It's very simple to over your daily license.

Splunk Review
