Splunk

Using ForgeOps alongside Splunk

You don't have to replace Splunk. An organization with real Splunk investment usually has dashboards, saved searches, security workflows, and alerting tied to it; that's not something to throw away for a narrower incident tool. This is about what ForgeOps adds next to it, not instead of it. See ForgeOps vs. Splunk for the fuller comparison.

Splunk keeps doing

  • Infrastructure monitoring
  • Log ingestion and search
  • Metrics and traces at scale
  • Broad observability across your stack
  • Security / SIEM

ForgeOps adds

  • Automatic incident detection
  • Deployment correlation
  • Customer impact
  • Probable cause
  • Investigation timeline
  • Response & resolution

Splunk continues to provide your observability infrastructure. ForgeOps provides an opinionated incident investigation workflow around the signals your engineering team already cares about.

None of this data is exotic; Splunk could show you the same deploy marker, the same latency trend, the same error spike, if you went looking for each one yourself. The difference isn't that Splunk can't provide this data. The difference is what the product is organized around: ForgeOps starts from the incident and pulls the evidence to it automatically, rather than asking you to go find each signal in turn.
