Dynatrace – Splunk Integration

Data Types: Metrics / Problems

Dynatrace (Problems) → Splunk (Events)

Dynatrace – Splunk Integration Use Case

The Monitoring team uses Dynatrace as a primary source of valuable information (metrics and problems) accumulated via its comprehensive monitoring capabilities. The data, however, needs to be forwarded to Splunk for further analysis.

Upon its deployment and connection with your Dynatrace and Splunk instances, ZigiOps immediately fetches Dynatrace’s metrics and problems and sends them directly to Splunk.

Once there, the data becomes available for anyone and accessible at any time and from any location. As a result of the integration, Splunk’s core gets enriched with valuable business data. The latter can later be used in the process of visualization of essential information segments.

Challenges for Dynatrace and Splunk users

Dynatrace enables organizations to monitor vital processes that run at the core of their IT ecosystem, as well as metrics, topology, incidents, events, and various problems.

Splunk is also a monitoring system that comes with cybersecurity capabilities. Splunk helps organizations analyze and govern operations in their IT infrastructure.

In organizations often one team would utilize Dynatrace to monitor processes. At the same time, Splunk is deployed to generate crucial business data.

The fact that both Dynatrace and Splunk are used on their own is a prerequisite for delays, gaps in the data flow, and information silos.

The integration of Dynatrace and Splunk will simplify the processes of data flow, cross-team collaboration, workflow efficiency, and application anomalies detection – elements crucial for the overall performance of successful organizations.

How do we solve them?
