Business Problems Solved
Splunk IT Service Intelligence, or ITSI, is a versatile tool used by infrastructure monitoring teams, NOCs, command centers, and IT departments to manage and monitor various aspects of their infrastructure. Users leverage its capabilities to collect events from multiple data sources such as networks, servers, storage systems, databases, and security devices. Splunk ITSI aggregates this data on a single platform, providing a comprehensive view of the entire infrastructure for quick issue identification and root cause analysis.
One of the key use cases of Splunk ITSI is consolidating alerts from different IT tools to provide stakeholders with visibility into the health of services. This allows infrastructure operations, application developers, and DevOps teams to proactively address potential issues before they impact users. Splunk ITSI also monitors the performance and functionality of critical services, ensuring their proper functioning and reducing mean time to service restoration during outages.
In addition to traditional infrastructure elements, Splunk ITSI extends its monitoring capabilities to include telemetry from data centers, cloud infrastructures, and customer media consumption endpoints like set-top boxes, IPTV streamers, mobile devices, and web browsers. With real-time cloud monitoring and proactive alerting features, Splunk ITSI provides operational visibility into business health and hardware and microservices performance. It also supports event management, aggregation, incident creation, self-healing automation, and trend predictions in different environments.
By offering a single view of the entire topology through glass tables and pre-built content packs for real-time service monitoring, Splunk ITSI reduces response time for critical incidents while identifying root causes. Its user-friendly interface facilitates quick adoption among teams with varying skill levels in monitoring tools. Development teams also utilize Splunk ITSI to monitor system performance during high traffic events or peak times.
Overall, Splunk IT Service Intelligence is a powerful AIOps platform that brings together different areas of IT that were previously siloed. It helps manage major incidents effectively, monitor service availability, and limit downtime by quickly responding to outages.

We are utilising ITSI to monitor the health of our business operations and IT services. We use a range of KPI approaches to capture business health for stakeholder reporting, as well as lower level IT Ops monitoring of hardware and microservices.
Pros
Reducing alerting noise
Improving visibility of services
Great for finding root cause of issues
Cons
Should be easier to build notable events with rich data
It should be possible to build custom dashboards with standard ITSI UI components
Likelihood to Recommend
ITSI is great for a range of monitoring applications, not limited to just IT Ops monitoring as some might imagine, it is actually very good at monitoring business objectives, SLAs and other non-stereotypical IT metrics.
Splunk IT has helped revolutionize how we monitor all of our IT devices across the enterprise. Prior to its implementation, monitoring and troubleshooting had no real scope or direction. It was very much an unorganized, ad-hoc type of pursuit that wasted a ton of time and energy tracking problems down. Splunk IT Essentials lets us consolidate our monitoring into a single tool and see real time insights into the health of the enterprise.
Pros
Real time enterprise health monitoring
Metrics ingest, parsing, and visualization
Investigating and troubleshooting problems that arise with devices
Cons
Currently need to special request this app on Splunk Cloud
Not compatible with older versions of Splunk
Likelihood to Recommend
Splunk IT Essentials scales really well and is quite suitable for large enterprise environments which is where I use it. It can easily handle the classification and ingest of metrics/log data from thousands of devices. It also allows for easy grouping of these devices so that users can search just for Windows devices, or just for Linux machines. Provides a great overview of enterprise health while allowing deeper dives into the device level of data.
We are using Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) as the centerpiece of our Observability strategy for multiple product lines that provide interactive television services. It helps us to ensure the proper functionality of our services and the surrounding ecosystem as well as reducing mean time to service restoration when outages occur. Our Splunk ITSI system observes telemetry from our data center and clouds infrastructures as well as telemetry collected from our customer media consumption endpoint software on set-top boxes, IPTV streamers, mobile devices and web browsers.
Pros
Modeling low-level machine, device, and network metrics into high-level ecosystem services
Powerful adaptive thresholds for detecting Service and KPI anomalous behavior
Powerful toolbox for canned and customized event analytics pipeline providing true AI operations
Direct access to (integration with) all of the numerous and varied Splunk ecosystem data sources and types
Cons
Better integrations with "infrastructure as code" workflows via tools like Terraform
More support for adaptive thresholding with numerous and changing dynamic entities
Better ability to surface details of unhappy or anomalous KPIs and entities that contributed to episode production
Likelihood to Recommend
Splunk ITSI is a great tool (and toolbox) for combining together numerous and varied monitoring regimes to bring more holistic analysis and reduce alert fatigue. By leveraging the Splunk ITSI service and KPI modeling regime, ecosystem telemetry can be turned into a more reliable, clearer, high-level perspective on the current state of your components and services.
Splunk is being used by our infrastructure monitoring team to review events from different sets of infrastructure devices such as Networks, Servers, Storage, Databases and Security devices. Splunk is helping out our IT team by collecting the events from multiple data sources and aggregating all of them in a single glass pane.
Pros
Powerful AI engine.
Correlation.
Data collection methods.
Cons
Ease of administration.
Distributed architecture.
Monitoring capabilities within in itself.
AIOPS forecasting.
Likelihood to Recommend
Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) is well suited for environments that have multiple data sources and need visibility in their activities like health status and need to be streamlined in a common stream of data events. Splunk ITSI is less appropriate if you wish to use this as an elementary layer tool.
