In a highly virtualized environment, getting a clear picture of the infrastructure landscape can be challenging. Because data is siloed between each layer of IT, discovering their relationships is often a manual task involving multiple teams. But using Splunk, building those relationships becomes a breeze. Join us as we discuss how we combine data from the Configuration Management Database (CMDB), Virtual Infrastructure, and Storage Environment to present an easy-to-use interface that allows our users to explore their infrastructure. Troubleshooting issues that used to take a user hours of downloading and parsing data from multiple sources now takes seconds with a click of a button. From finding all applications running on one host to determining which teams to notify for upcoming storage work, we can now quickly show all meaningful relationships between applications, servers, hosts, and storage.
