Splunk for Change Management Brings Integrated Change Audit, Detection and Validation
Latest Splunk Application Addresses Root Cause of Many Datacenter Problems
INTEROP, LAS VEGAS, April 29 -- Splunk, the IT Search company, today announced the introduction of Splunk for Change Management, a new application built on the Splunk IT Search platform. Splunk for Change Management improves availability and security by continuously auditing all configurations and changes, detecting unauthorized changes, validating change deployment, and rapidly discovering service-impacting changes during of incident response -- without the need for point solutions or redundant investments in software and storage.
Splunk for Change Management lets organizations leverage Splunk's powerful indexing, search, alerting and reporting capabilities across all IT data including configurations, change audit events, error logs and service desk tickets to proactively identify unauthorized changes and resolve incidents faster. Splunk leverages a single IT data platform for operations, security, compliance and business intelligence and is changing a market landscape formerly fragmented into hundreds of niche tool silos, and driving major increases in IT efficiency.
Despite a heightened awareness of the importance of change management, many companies continue to struggle with high levels of IT incidents. While there are multiple change detection tools available they are expensive, complicated systems that keep change management in a silo. They represent yet one more console in environments where there are already dozens of tools that don't work together. This traditional approach is disconnected from incident response processes and cut off from other sources of IT data required to effectively manage change and understand system configuration and behavior.
"While there are multiple change detection tools available they're expensive, complicated and keep change management in a silo. It's just one more console in environments where there are already dozens of tools that don't work together. This traditional approach is disconnected from incident response processes and cut off from other sources of IT data you need to effectively manage change and understand system configuration and behavior," said Harper Mann, senior product manager, availability applications, Splunk. "Splunk brings change audit events and configuration data together with activity and error logs so you can connect change with actual system and user behavior. And it does so cost-effectively because it leverages the existing Splunk platform and the IT data already indexed for operations, security and compliance".
