Hi All,

I have been monitoring MS Exchange server using SCOM.
But now looking at Splunk for Exchange, monitoring my Exchange server.
So, I need administrative guide of Splunk for MS Exchange & features of it.
And if I get comparison between SCOM & Splunk for Exchange.Also need some explanation from following points :

1.Business benefits of using Splunk for Exchange.
2.If possible, cite business examples also. So that it becomes easy to understand.
3.Additional list of charts/reports which would make business sense.

Thanks in Advanced.

Regards,
catch_mili

On the first page of the docs is the Splunk for Exchange docs;
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/MSExchange/latest/DeployMSX/AboutSplunkforMicrosoftExchange

The summary page of the app also has some blurb;
http://splunk-base.splunk.com/apps/28976/splunk-app-for-microsoft-exchange

Otherwise, a great selling point would be that Microsoft use it to monitor their own Exchange environment. The docs should help with everything else

EDIT: Oh, and its free, so if you're already using Splunk it wouldn't hurt to run your own small scale test deployment

Driany,

Are you guys talking about the "Splunk App for Microsoft Exchange"? https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1660/

On the comment about it being free: It appears as a paid app and I was wondering about that: "This app requires a paid license to use. The trial license lasts for 60 days." Or maybe i'm just confused and it implies the splunk server itself is a licensed product?

I am also digging into the docs to see how if works on a distributed exchange install :
