Have you tested this app in Splunk Cloud?

Hi Gareth!

I like a lot your app, thanks a lot!
I've testing in my own on-premise Splunk server, but I will like to use it in a Splunk Cloud environment.
Have you tested there? Can we get the same results and alerts?

Thanks a lot for your comments.

Hi,

You can customise savesearches.conf and macros.conf file to use in any environments.

Splunk cloud I would suggest to write those searches manually.

However, I have tested this app in splunk cloud works fine.

Thanks a lot for your answer!

Did you added this App to your Splunk Cloud or you added only macros and several saved searches?

Thanks for the testing and answer here

I have not tested in the Splunk Cloud environment, the application was developed on-premise and is most relevant for a on-prem environment.

It should work in Splunk cloud as long as you have access to the _internal index for the majority of the alerts, some alerts need _introspection and a few use _audit.

Assuming you have access to those internal indexes it should work however some of the alerts might not be as relevant in a cloud environment, particularly around performance issues.

If you do try it let me know if it works or not as I do not currently have a cloud environment, I might try signup for one this weekend if I have time!

Hi again!
And thanks for your answer!

You are right, you App should work ok in Splunk Cloud because we canaccess to these indexes as well.
I'll wait for your tests if you have time this weekend 🙂
And I'll continue my own tests in Dev (on-prem) environment.

I did some quick testing (20 minutes worth) and from what I can see the internal index, REST API's and introspection data are all accessible, even the dashboards I tested worked.

However there were a number of alerts in the application that are specific to an indexer cluster and I was testing in a standalone cloud setup so those alerts are not relevant here.

Any of the alerts I tested that referred to the cluster master or similar failed but overall it works better than I expected since I designed and tested this all on-premise.
