On-call dashboard
What the on-call person needs to see in the first minute.
Dashboards & Reports.
Splunk dashboards and reports that answer a specific question and that someone actually uses.
The problem we solve.
Platforms accumulate dashboards nobody opens while the ones someone actually needs are missing. A dashboard without a clear question behind it is decoration: it consumes resources and doesn't help anyone decide.
What’s included.
- Workshop to define questions and audiences
- Design and development of dashboards
- Scheduled reports and email delivery
- Performance: base and chained searches
- Retirement of unused dashboards
How we work.
Five phases, always in the same order. Select each one to see what happens in it. In full projects they map onto the stages of our method.
We review your platform, your data sources, your searches and your licence consumption to know where you stand.
We design the solution on Splunk Cloud Platform: indexes, retention, ingest paths, apps and access controls.
We build the agreed dashboards and reports, using base searches to avoid repeating queries.
We test each dashboard with its real users and measure its load time before publishing it.
We measure usage, performance and cost after go-live and adjust what isn't adding value.

Frequently asked questions.
Dashboard Studio or Simple XML?
Dashboard Studio for new, visual dashboards; we keep Simple XML where there are dependencies that shouldn't be migrated yet.
Can you clean up the dashboards we already have?
Yes. We measure which ones are used and propose retiring, merging or rebuilding the rest.
Can reports be sent automatically?
Yes, scheduled and sent to the right people, with the appropriate permissions.
