A large volume of known production incidents and end-user issues are still being resolved manually. This becomes worse when it happens in unusual hours and no one is there to fix it. Every minute of downtime is detrimental to business and waking up an engineer at the middle of the night to fix simple known issues is not worthwhile. Our self-healing (Event-Driven Remediation) solution fixes simple and known incidents automatically. For complex alerts, it gets relevant diagnostics and context from the logs. This could massively improve customers' and employees' experience in any organization.

Can Splunk help eliminate environmental risks and save the company money at the same time? The Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) sets standards defining the amount of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) that can be safely released. Honda Manufacturing of Alabama (HMA) must adhere to those standards and track our compliance within the parameters set forth by the ADEM. Failure to comply with these standards will result in potentially damaging the environment and large fines. HMA uses a Regenerative Thermal Oven (RTO) to burn off pollutants from our paint department, which is controlled by an Allen Bradley Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). Using this PLC and the sensors built into the RTO, we collect individual chamber temperatures, fan speeds, exhaust temperatures, motor winding temperatures, motor vibrations, and fan vibrations. Using these readings and the Splunk Machine Learning Toolkit we try to predict if the temperature will be within the set range.

Have you ever been positive you had found evil, only to realize it was normal after hours of triage and work? We have all heard and love “KNOW NORMAL FIND EVIL,” but how hard is it to actually know normal? The MITRE ATT&CK Framework gives defenders a better map to “find evil,” but how can this framework be used to “know normal”?Rick will discuss how knowing normal in a world of abnormal is harder than one thinks, and how addressing the actual root cause of evil can improve the technology industry as a whole.

Are you addressing the challenges of gaining visibility into a distributed microservices environment? Is your organization considering using distributed tracing to augment your APM capabilities? Have you heard of OpenTracing and want to learn what capabilities it gives you and how to get started? Come learn about the OpenTracing project and how you can use it with Splunk to get a complete picture of your application environment using logs, metrics, and traces. We'll go from the basics of what the project is to how to get started integrating with Splunk. We'll also review an example of a large telco customer to see how they got started with OpenTracing and how they rolled it out in their application environments.

Splunk/VictorOps allows your data to talk to people, and your people to talk to data, all while improving MTTR/MTTI. You’re already using Splunk today to get cool dashboards, ask questions of your data with search, and trigger important alerts based on data that’s of interest to you. But, just because alerts are important doesn’t mean they are for everyone. And for those who should respond to the alert, it’s important to get the alert into their hands immediately. Transitioning to a modern NOC, or “New Operations Center,” Splunk and VictorOps enable teams to collaboratively solve issues by providing on-call users with actionable alerts that allow for smarter investigation, faster mobilization, and lower mean time to resolution. In this session we’ll take a look under the hood at different Splunk and VictorOps integrations.

Do you remember the time when you had to attend lectures in person? Monash University has extended teaching hours and stopped repeating lectures. To provide flexibility to students and release pressure on finite campus facilities, lectures are now live streamed and are guaranteed to cover 100% of the classroom content. We are using Splunk and IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) to help monitor live streaming of lectures. It is impossible to manually monitor hundreds of teaching spaces in real-time and keep track of lecture schedules, the status of AV devices, microphones, and audio signals. Come and see how we at Monash University use Splunk ITSI glass tables to rule them all! Using ITSI we get real-time insights into service health and entity-level alerting based on ITSI thresholds.

ITSI provides a platform to turn your never-ending stream of app and infrastructure data into manageable KPIs that you can act on, but how do you manage the number of events ITSI detects? What if you need to extend ITSI with additional capabilities in order to merge your alerts with your support team's response processes? We will turn ITSI up to 11 by adding the concept of "platforms" as a collection of related services, support reoccurring maintenance windows, and generate rich alerts that include information such as which entities are impacted and what the KPI values are. These concepts are combined so that all the problems in your platform generate a single alert with alert text rich enough that that your support teams can respond without opening ITSI, and we will do it all with just SPL.

Telegraf is a open source tool that is used for collecting metrics from a variety of inputs, including system data (CPU, memory, disk, and network), docker, MySQL, etc. Telegraf (as of v1.8) supports a "splunkmetric" serializer for native ingest into Splunk's metric store using a variety of Telegraf's output modules, including file outputs, and HTTP with the ability to include HEC-required fields. Telegraf can be deployed as a stand-alone daemon or as a Splunk application that can be pushed out from deployers, masters, and the like. We'll investigate the various integrations with Telegraf and Splunk including using Telegraf as the system to feed Splunk's App for Infrastructure (in lieu of collectd), custom dashboards, as well as integrations with ITSI. With Telegraf's multitude of inputs, outputs, and a nearly universal run-time, it's a fantastic tool to add to your system monitoring workflows.

Why should running a business feel any different than throwing a party? To demonstrate how Splunk can be used to monitor and manage business operations, the DATA Mavericks team at Acceleris has iteratively perfected its Party Dashboard. It started out as a gimmick at the inauguration party of the company's new headquarters, but now the Party Dashboard demonstrates how Splunk’s dashboarding helps any team get real-time visibility into any operation. Join this session to learn why they chose the relevant metrics, how they collected and fed the data to Splunk, and what meaningful insights were generated as a fun introductory example of using Splunk to get visibility into your business operations.
