Data Fabric Search (DFS) is the next generation of Splunk’s search platform. DFS executes the following vision: Splunk should be able to leverage compute assets from anywhere and access and execute on data regardless of type and origin. Inspired by the above mantra DFS scales Splunk searches both in terms of volume and cardinality. In this session you will learn how DFS searches scale to trillion scale event volume or billion scale cardinality - capabilities previously impossible. DFS is not limited to local but by supporting scaled federated executions also powers remote splunk deployments. The Search Pipeline of DFS has been build grounds up based on lambda architecture which provides massive scale, high throughput and performance gains. At the end some of the performance and scale numbers which has been achieved internally will be shared.

How do I get data into Splunk? What is a sourcetype? Does Splunk already know how to handle my data? What app do I use? What if all my data is syslog? If you are asking these questions, then this session is for you. After all, data quality is the foundation of becoming a data-driven organization. This session will walk through onboarding fundamentals. We will discuss the importance of a timestamp and what to do if your data may not have one. We will explain when to use an existing or create a new sourcetype. We will review the process of examining an app from Splunkbase and determining what sourcetype the app expects. By the end of this session you will no longer use syslog as a sourcetype, but as a means of collecting data.

How do you ensure that business-critical searches are not impacted by non-critical searches? How do you divvy up Splunk search capacity among internal teams? How do you assign appropriate resources for ingestion and search? Do you want to monitor runaway/rogue searches in real time and prevent adverse impact on the rest of your users? If you are struggling with these questions, this is the session for you! Splunk Workload Management puts you in control. It allows you to define resource pools, access to them, limit the maximum number of concurrent searches in a pool, and monitor rogue searches. Using Linux cgroups to allocate CPU and memory to different pools, Workload Management allows you to create separate pools for ingestion and search. You can create sub-pools within search to isolate incoming searches. The rules can be defined based on search type, user, roles, application etc. Even better, you can monitor for rogue searches and automatically abort or throttle them.

Have you ever been asked to create a resilient petabyte scale data collection and distribution architecture? Do you need to transform data before it is indexed to remove unnecessary or sensitive data or even enrich the data with a lookup before writing the data to your index? Do you need to detect specific patterns to identify the event line break, event timestamp, or assign the appropriate sourcetype? Do you need to control where to send the data including the specific Splunk Index(es) or even a non-Splunk Sink?If so, we will show you how Splunk’s Data Stream Processor (DSP) can be used to address these requirements to meet both current and future demands. We will walk through the scenarios that customers are dealing with today for these requirements.

For those of us who work in the technology sector and adjacent disciplines, our technical skills are largely seen as our most valuable; the programming languages we know, what we’ve accomplished with those languages and so on. While our technical skills are usually our ticket in, they have little or no impact on how happy we are at work. For example, the correlation between your proficiency in Splunk and your commitment to your team is negligible. As life at work evolves, we see the rising need for an alternative data point: empathy. With the help of sentiment analysis, our talk will highlight how the presence or absence of empathy impacts our working lives. And, better yet, how we can change the course of a team, project, and our own perception by leveraging empathy in a conscious way.

Wire data is the information that passes over computer and telecommunications networks to define communications between client and server devices. It is the result of decoding wire and transport protocols containing the bi-directional data payload. We will cover the use of wire data to solve security, IT operations, and business use cases, and see how the Splunk Stream platform is easily integrated into your existing data flows. The Splunk Essentials for Wire Data app from Splunkbase will be used to showcase dozens of examples using wire data to solve common business and technical issues. We will cover how to deploy and configure Splunk Stream in a distributed environment, including a demonstration.

Cryptocurrency ecosystems are highly complex, distributed, and rapidly evolving, rendering many existing financial models ineffective. By aggregating the heterogeneous data streams that are produced by distinct groups within crypto (blockchains, mining pools, exchanges, etc.), we have built a unified analytical platform called Nakamoto Terminal (NTerminal) using Splunk. By leveraging NTerminal, we are creating an adapted agent-based modeling (ABM) system; agents monitor the state of the ecosystem by consuming real time updates from the individual data sources that modulate their state and connectivity. Different heuristic models are called upon to facilitate data transformations and agent interactions. Within this ecosystem, collective agent activity reveals emergent properties and patterns of behavior. With Splunk as the centerpiece, integrated reports, dashboards, or searches allow you to better navigate the ecosystem of interest.

Streaming telemetry is a new approach supported by major networking companies such as Cisco, as well as service providers. It provides better real time data of routing/switching devices without the performance impact that comes with SNMP. Network operators who turn to streaming telemetry often have sophisticated goals in mind and are not simply looking to collect data and throw it onto a graph. Instead, they are looking at advanced use cases where further processing is performed on the data (e.g., analytics or machine learning) and intelligent action is triggered based on this analysis. This presentation. will discuss how to get telemetry data into Splunk to search, analyze, visualize, and create alerts including examples from an existing deployment.
