Splunk for monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
Splunk allows you to capture logs from numerous different types of applications, and search or filter through them very easily. You can also create very helpful dashboards, apply plugins for applications, and more.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to complain about really. We did hit a bug or two early on, but Splunk has since patched those, and things are operating well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are pushing Azure activity and diagnostic logs to splunk. From there we can filter on specific logs, and even cut tickets to Remedy. It's a very flexible, powerful tool for monitoring and helps with alerting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is a great product overall. Searching for log entries is very simple, and you can refine the searches easily too. Definitely a great tool.

Splunk allows me to quick diagnose problems and in most cases prevent them for going wide spread by pulling in logs from all of the sources in our development architecture.

The only thing I dislike is that it can be difficult to pull data in from a database, they make the DB Connect app, but it is does not work very well in our situation.

We are monitoring our internal application stack. Splunk has reduced on call incidents and allowed us to spend more time being proactive than reactive.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try and you will never look back. We started using Splunk just monitor a server that kept crashing, now we are fully integrating Splunk into our DevOps flow. Splunk is the glue that holds it together.
