Monitoring Splunk Cluster with ITSI

[cmeo-bcit]

Just curious to find out if anyone has ever integrated Splunk Cluster with ITSI.

Seems to me that SC certainly qualifies as a service with many dependencies, quite a few of which are not covered by the monitoring console. While comprehensive, it doesn't include many things which SC just assumes are working correctly, primary among these the networks on which everything relies.

For instance, if you have flapping port on switch or a configuration problem with a switch or router, this could potentially cause many interesting issues with SC about which MC would have no clue.

Anyone ever made any moves along these lines?

At one point there was a Splunk-on-Splunk template for ITSI which worked wonders in a previous environment I monitored.  I did supplement the existing template with the inbound syslog system monitoring.  However, I didn't do anything to monitor the Router,FW, and LB since the network was quite large and any HA activities would require additional details.  It would have been too large a task for the return on value.

Monitoring these items separately would have a lot of value and if port labels are informative then you can make up for the full integration map.

IMO
