Developing, maintaining and supporting large, complex, highly distributed, mission-critical applications is extremely challenging. Traditional Application Management approaches are ill-equipped to handle the complexity of today's application architectures and deployment environments. Splunk provides a better approach, enabling you to find and fix application problems faster to reduce downtime, gain end-to-end operational visibility of your key performance indicators and deliver new insights from your machine data to help the business make better decisions.

Resolve Problems Faster and Reduce Downtime

• Troubleshoot issues quickly, reduce costly escalations, and reduce the mean time to investigate and resolve problems (MTTI/MTTR) by upto 90%
• Provide developers access to production application logs from a central location without having to access production systems (and reducing compliance exceptions)
• Monitor your entire application environment in real time to prevent problems from impacting users; retain knowledge from recurring events to prevent outages

Gain End-to-End Operational Visibility

• Trace and monitor transactions through all the tiers of your distributed application architecture and a wide variety of data sources
• Detect anomalies or issues in performance, response times and proactively resolve them before they impact application users
• Monitor key operational metrics such as end-to-end response times, message queue lengths, failed transaction counts, etc. to ensure service levels are met
• Get real-time operational visibility across your entire IT infrastructure and into any technology without the need for custom parsers or adapters. Typical data sources include:
  • Custom application environments - .NET, Java, PHP, Ruby on Rails
  • Web servers - Apache, IIS, IBM http server
  • Application servers - WebSphere, Weblogic, Windows Server, JBOSS, Oracle application server, Tomcat, Spring TC Server, Sun Glassfish
  • Messaging technologies - IBM MQ series, Tibco ESB
  • Database technologies - Oracle, MySQL, MS SQL Server
  • Packaged applications - SAP, Oracle
  • Service-Oriented Architecture

Gain New Insights to Help Business Decision Making

• Gain insights into how your end users are using your services, so you can provide better, faster service levels
• Enrich your machine data with non IT sources, such as pricing databases, customer information and location information, and get critical intelligence for your business
