Hello everyone,
I am the designated Splunk developer in my department at my company and I am slowing transitioning our old reporting and monitoring model over to Splunk. Before we were using Microsoft SharePoint services to publish both our performance metrics with SSRS and excel PowerPivot reporting; however we no longer are using the SSRS reports from SQL, Splunk is how we are gathering our performance metrics now.
The next task is, if justifiable, to let Splunk handle our Excel data with the Splunk ODBC Driver found on Splunkbase. I find it silly to have 2 separate solutions for our current model and I am looking for real use cases and wins that you all have experienced after allowing Splunk to handle your excel data, as opposed to some other software such as what I mentioned above. Basically I am just doing research from the consumer's point of view, that are using Splunk for this actual purpose.
So what are you using the Splunk ODBC Driver for? What were you using before this? Also, how has it benefited your organization? This would be incredibly helpful. Thanks.
