Consisting of a number of modules, Splunk at its heart it is a data ingestion and display engine. The ability to ingest data across a wide array of data sources, then cross correlate the data and display on a dashboard provides for the ability to make sense of large amounts of data and track outcomes. Splunk allows businesses to use the data dashboards to track outcomes important for the business, turning IT data into an important business decision tool. ## ![MS\_Page\_M3](https://iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/MS_Page_M3.png?width=354&height=354&name=MS_Page_M3.png). # IPTel Solutions Contact Us ![AboutUs\_1](https://iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/AboutUs_1.png?width=1080&height=1080&name=AboutUs_1.png) ### What is Splunk? Splunk is a data analysis engine, used to ingest data from a wide variety of inputs ([there are \>2000 connectors and counting](https://splunkbase.splunk.com/), so you really can pull data from a huge variety of sources).   Once that data is ingested into Splunk, it allows us to do a couple of things: - Produce dashboards that correlate data, and - Search the data for useful insights and information In a nutshell: *Splunk takes data your systems already generate, connects it together, and makes it useful.* The table below details some of the industry badges we hold for Splunk: --- Splunk for Healthcare Splunk for Manufacturing Splunk for Telecommunications ##### Splunk for Healthcare Hospitals, clinics and healthcare in general have a lot of data to deal with. ![splunk-healthcare-badge](https://iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Website%20Images/splunk-healthcare-badge.png?width=142&height=142&name=splunk-healthcare-badge.png)Tracking of a vast amount of data and making sense of it in real time and semi-real time can be a real challenge. In this blog, we'll take a look at how Splunk can help the healthcare professional to know what devices are connected to their network. Splunk IT Service Intelligence provides live and semi-live (it depends on the information source we are ingesting), intuitive dashboards that allow executives and managers to: - Monitor the availability of critical clinical systems - Understand operational risk in real time - Make informed, data-driven decisions that support quality of care and financial sustainability **Associated Blogs:** - [Splunk in Healthcare](https://blog.iptel.com.au/splunk-healthcare-case-study?hsLang=en-au) ##### Splunk for Manufacturing Manufacturing has some very key things that need to be measured and predictive analysis of data is important. **![splunk-manufacturing-badge](https://iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Website%20Images/splunk-manufacturing-badge.png?width=142&height=142&name=splunk-manufacturing-badge.png)The key thing:** do not stop the production line! If we can use data to help us make the site efficient and predict any issues with the network that might stop operations, we can provide a major cost saving to the business. Let's take a look! In manufacturing and Industrial, Splunk can provide a dashboard to show: - **Alert Types:** We can clearly see the quantity and type of alerts and how they're impacting the network - **Types of Equipment:** Manufacturing uses a range - from standard networking equipment (albeit IOT versions) through to PLCs, sensors and cameras - **Major issues and Parameters:** This is just a sample render below, but we would typically want the key metrics and KPIs shown on these dashboards **Associated Blogs: ** - [Splunk in Manufacturing](https://blog.iptel.com.au/splunk-manufacturing-case-study?hsLang=en-au) ##### Splunk for Telecommunications Running a [CURWB](https://blog.iptel.com.au/introducing-simultaneous-wi-fi-and-urwb?hsLang=en-au)or [Private 5G](https://blog.iptel.com.au/cisco-private-5g?hsLang=en-au) network requires close monitoring to ensure you get the most from your investment.   ![Splunk Telecommunications Badge](https://iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/Splunk%20Telecommunications%20Case%20Study/Splunk%20Telecommunications%20Badge.png?width=141&height=141&name=Splunk%20Telecommunications%20Badge.png)Splunk provides a place to display data from the ICT network, radio network and end users, to performance is easy to track and faults easy to identify.   Without unified visibility across **vehicle telemetry and CURWB / Private 5G performance**, teams are left guessing — switching between operational systems, network dashboards, and vendor tools while production slows.   The key metrics that we need to track for are: - Network Latency - Packet Loss - Signal Strength and Radio Health **Associated Blogs:** - [Splunk Telecommunications Case Study](https://blog.iptel.com.au/splunk-telecommunications-case-study?hsLang=en-au) - [Cisco URWB](https://blog.iptel.com.au/introducing-simultaneous-wi-fi-and-urwb?hsLang=en-au) - [Cisco Private 5G ](https://blog.iptel.com.au/cisco-private-5g?hsLang=en-au) --- ## What does Splunk do? Cisco bought Splunk to integrate the unique capabilities of the tool into the wider Cisco eco-system. Splunk allows us to take various sources of information and to analyse those sources and display the outcomes on a dashboard. The ability to cross-correlate data from more than one source is a pretty interesting capability - a bit like an artist building up the full picture with added brushstrokes, Splunk adds more detail as we add more data sources. Splunk helps organisations make sense of large volumes of data generated by their IT environment. Every network, application, server, and device produces logs and telemetry — [Splunk takes this raw data, brings it together in one place, and turns it into **searchable, correlated, and visual insights**.](https://blog.iptel.com.au/splunk?hsLang=en-au) At its core, Splunk is a data analytics platform. It ingests information from many different sources — network equipment, wireless controllers, security systems, applications, cloud platforms, and APIs — and allows engineers and IT teams to search, analyse, and visualise that data in near real time.   ![Automated Vehicles 5G](https://iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/Splunk%20Telecommunications%20Case%20Study/Automated%20Vehicles%205G.png?width=1536&height=1024&name=Automated%20Vehicles%205G.png "Automated Vehicles 5G")  At its core, Splunk is a **data analytics platform**. It ingests information from many different sources — network equipment, wireless controllers, security systems, applications, cloud platforms, and APIs — and allows engineers and IT teams to **search, analyse, and visualise that data in near real time**  --- ## Splunk Use Cases There's a range of use cases that Splunk supports - the following provides more details on the most common ones. ![Splunk ITSI Partner](https://iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Website%20Images/splunk-itsi-badge.png?width=600&height=600&name=splunk-itsi-badge.png "Splunk ITSI Partner") ## IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) One of the tools in the Splunk catalogue is ITSI. Most IT environments already have the data they need to troubleshoot problems or improve performance — the challenge is that the data lives in silos. Splunk removes those silos by correlating data from multiple systems and presenting it as dashboards, alerts, and reports that are easy to understand and act on.  Rather than looking at individual logs in isolation, Splunk allows you to build a complete picture: - [What devices are connected to the network ](https://blog.iptel.com.au/how-splunk-helps-businesses-discover-connected-devices?hsLang=en-au) -  How applications are performing  -  Where failures or anomalies are occurring  -  How changes in one system impact others  This ability to cross‑correlate data is what makes Splunk so powerful — it’s not just log collection, it’s context. One of Splunk’s strengths is how it presents information. Data can be exposed through: - Operational dashboards - Executive “glass table” views - Alerts and notifications tied to thresholds or events ![splunk-observability-badge](https://iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Website%20Images/splunk-observability-badge.png?width=600&height=600&name=splunk-observability-badge.png "splunk-observability-badge") ## Observability Splunk Observability is only as effective as the instrumentation and data pipelines behind it. IPTel Solutions' Splunk Managed Services take the operational burden off your team so your observability platform delivers real, actionable insight into infrastructure and application performance. We manage the full lifecycle of your environment: instrumentation and integration management, dashboard and detector tuning, trace and metrics pipeline optimisation, data onboarding, and alert configuration. Our engineers work as an extension of your team, proactively catching issues before they impact performance — from ingestion delays to noisy alerts to blind spots in service coverage. Typical options for Observability are: - Third-party monitoring data such as ThousandEyes synthetic test results, outage events, and network path monitoring. - Site status data from syslogs, SNMP devices, or telemetry data As your infrastructure evolves, we help your observability practice mature — expanding instrumentation coverage, refining SLOs, and deepening correlation across metrics, traces, and logs, moving you from reactive troubleshooting toward proactive performance management. With IPTel managing your Splunk Observability environment, your team gets reliable, high-fidelity visibility into system and application health — without needing to become Splunk experts themselves. --- IT Service Intelligence and Observability are only part of the picture — sustaining it day-to-day requires ongoing tuning, monitoring, and platform expertise most internal teams don't have the bandwidth to maintain alone. That's where IPTel's Managed Services model comes in: extending the same hands-on approach beyond Splunk to give you a single, dependable partner across your entire environment. ![Splunk Managed Services Provider](https://iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Website%20Images/Splunk%20Managed%20Services%20Provider.png?width=600&height=600&name=Splunk%20Managed%20Services%20Provider.png "Splunk Managed Services Provider") ## Managed Services Splunk takes a bit of setting up and if you want to make it as stress free as possible, we can work with you  If you'd like to just be able to maximise the data from Splunk without the hassle of setting up, this is a great option for your business. With our helpdesk ticket based support means: - You can request updates to your dashboards - Setup interconnectionsedtions and raising tickets for alerts and alarms As your infrastructure evolves, we help your observability practice mature — expanding service models, tuning adaptive thresholding, and deepening correlation across infrastructure, application, and business metrics, moving you from reactive alerting toward predictive service health. --- ## Other Splunk Use Cases Splunk meets a range of use cases and the power in Splunk is to be able to correlate across data sources - but provide unique views to different groups of users - so gaining additional value for your business. Common use cases are: ##### IT Intelligence [![Dashboard Studio 2](https://iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/Splunk%20Manufacturing/Dashboard%20Studio%202.png?width=1536&height=1024&name=Dashboard%20Studio%202.png "Dashboard Studio 2")](https://blog.iptel.com.au/deployment-validation-survey-what-to-expect?hsLang=en-au) ##### Security Use Cases ##### Business Intelligence Use Cases: In addition to the cases above and the data each can ingest, there are also some additional data sources. ##### Additional Data Sources --- ## IPTel Splunk Services We can provide you quotes for the relevant Splunk licensing as well as the services to design and commission your Splunk installation. Typical Splunk services we can help with: - **Scoping your project:** What sort of data sources do you want to ingest and what sort of dashboards are you looking for - **Business Value:** Work with you to determine the dashboards and metrics that really provide your business value - **Configuration:** Set up and deployment of your Splunk installation  IOnce your installation is complete, we can support as a Managed Service if you wanted to have complete peace of mind for your future Splunk journey.
