Your network is speaking to you! Listen to what your applications are saying. Monitoring the metrics already present in your wire data can provide the key to understanding and characterizing their performance. Using tools like Splunk Stream, you can collect dozens of metrics at the IP, TCP, and Application layers. This session will show you how to characterize the performance of your applications and the network, and how to tell which is the source of trouble. We'll also explore how to perform service and asset discovery with wire data as a basis of fact, correlating it with your database "of record" to ensure its accuracy.

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.

Too many tools, too many silos between data and collaboration, Outages take too long to Identify Root Cause and There is So Much Noise Abstract:  TIAA had a goal – to replace Legacy Monitoring with an AIOps approach.  What did that mean?  They had to find a better way to break down the silos between data and collaboration and start focusing attention on the right things with the right people.  Monitoring had become about MTTI (mean time to innocence) instead of fixing the fight issues more quickly and finding a way to move from ‘reacting’ to outages to ‘preventing’ them.  ITSI has become the ‘aggregator’ of monitoring data and will help TIAA move from the old Dinosaur Approach of being event driven to the AiOps approach of Service and Priority Driven.  Learn about the Journey, the Lessons Learned, and the Best Practices to Ensure Success.

As more technology organizations pursue agility and move towards continuous delivery, a stable and reliable IT infrastructure is the foundation that enables the transformation. However, the increasing complexity of the underlying infrastructure also brings a lot of challenges. Splunk has built a variety of solutions on top of our platform to deal with this complexity and deliver analytics and troubleshooting data to our engineering teams and decision makers. We will share a bit about our continuous integration process for triaging automated tests using Splunk, how we build IT infrastructure monitoring/analytics system based on Splunk ITSI, and how we take corresponding actions via VictorOps.
