Monitor automation workflows with Splunk
Integrate Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform with Splunk platform for improved monitoring and visibility through Splunk’s analytics capabilities.
The speed and quality of your application delivery is essential to your business. Splunk provides an operational intelligence platform that makes machine data accessible, usable, and valuable. Ansible Automation Platform automates complex multitier deployments, while the Splunk platform is used to analyze and correlate operational data collected from these deployments.
- Push data directly to Spunk
Using built-in logging integrations, you can push the operational data describing your infrastructure from Ansible Automation Platform directly into Splunk. This ability allows you to run Splunk queries on this data and correlate it with other data sources. It also allows a comprehensive, real-time view into your DevOps build pipeline, improving the speed, quality, and business impact.
- Gain insights into deployments and processes
The machine data provided by Ansible Automation Platform to the Splunk platform allows for greater control and visibility. Splunk will collect, analyze, and act upon the data generated by your infrastructure and business applications delivery pipeline. Through analyzing this data, it becomes easier to identify correlations between deployments and hosts.
For example, your Ops team is using Ansible Automation Platform for configuration management and application deployment, and the Splunk platform to analyze machine data from on-site and public cloud infrastructure. The Ansible Automation Platform integration for Splunk will give you the ability to provide real-time operational visibility into your deployments, allowing you to:
- Know who launched a job.
- Identify which credentials were used.
- See when the job was completed—and how long it took.
- Understand what changed in your environment (or what remained the same).
