Customer Successes with Splunk Storm

Extract analytics from cloud apps

Newstex, an authoritative content aggregation and distribution service, runs in Amazon Web Services and only uses cloud services for their infrastructure. Newstex uses Splunk Storm to get insights into application errors as well as to report on content usage like charting the path of content files across the entire distribution network.

“I love Splunk Storm’s ability to precisely extract information from my logs to generate content usage analytics and tracking for Newstex.”—Chris Moyer, VP Technology, Newstex LLC and author of “Building Applications in the Cloud”

Developers Need Visibility Whether you’re developing new mobile, social, gaming or e-commerce applications, cloud services such as Amazon® Web Services, Heroku®, Rackspace®, Google® App Engine provide a fast route to market. However, running applications in the cloud comes with a potential loss of visibility and control. While logs and metrics can provide some insight into how your application is doing, this data is often in different formats making it difficult to gain full visibility into your operations.

Splunk Storm AdvantagesSplunk Storm takes the machine data from your cloud services and applications (logs, events, metrics, and more) and harnesses that data to generate critical operational insights and application intelligence. Splunk Storm is a cloud service, based on the tried and proven, powerful Splunk software, used by thousands of enterprise customers worldwide.

•Diagnose and troubleshoot application problems and investigate security incidents in minutes instead of hours or days

•Gain rapid visibility and insights into your cloud-based applications such as user experience, user behavior, monetization triggers, response times and more

•Monitor critical operational metrics such as system uptimes, usage metrics, response times and error rates for more effective operational management of your cloud applications

Splunk Storm CapabilitiesAnalyze machine data from almost any source—Splunk Storm indexes and stores machine data in real time from virtually any source, format, platform, or cloud provider without the need for custom parsers or connectors. Machine data includes application logs, syslog streams from applications, network devices or load-balancers, metrics from your virtual machine instances, web server logs or database logs, infrastructure/platform/application service provider logs, stack traces, event data and more. Whether your application is written in Ruby, Java, Python, PHP, .NET, Node.js or any other language or framework, send data to Splunk Storm using network streams such as syslog, or using Splunk forwarders. Use the universal forwarder to gather data from a variety of inputs and forward the data to Splunk Storm for indexing and searching.

Search, investigate, correlate—Splunk Storm supports the powerful Splunk search language which lets you search real-time and historical machine data, filter events, correlate information across various data types, link transactions across multiple application components and trend critical operational parameters. Powerful statistical and reporting commands let you detect anomalies, eliminate noise and update transaction counts and durations.
