Editor's Notes
- #3: Two years ago or so Splunk and Tableau partnered to Deliver
- #4: Two years ago or so Splunk and Tableau partnered to Deliver ODBC connectivity to Splunk data For me, as a Splunk and Tableau user I was thrilled to be able to get my Splunk data into Tableau!
- #5: Quickly, let’s talk about Tableau
- #6: Three paid products. Desktop, Server, and Online Desktop is a tool that allows for drag and drop visual analytics of data sources Splunk ODBC in this case
- #7: Server and Tableau Online allow sharing of the analytics with everyone in your organization As well, specific to this case, allows extracting data from Splunk via ODBC for analytics
- #8: Servers generate Logs Which are indexed by Splunk Which is extracted to Tableau Server To generate Analytics Which allow contextual links back to Splunk as queries Which are predefined (safe), contextual with Variables, and fast searches
- #9: Set up a report Splunk is a standard Data source in Tableau Put in Search head and credentials Find your report And then start dragging and dropping to explore you data
- #10: Demo – Slides if we can’t do a demo Show dashboard Show Filtering Show drill down on error Show link back to Splunk
- #14: Splunk is a swiss army knife of getting at data This makes it an amazing source for Tableau since we are great at data analytics The combination of the two allows easy exploration of questions “Hey why did this response time spike?” as we saw in the demo In addition, as a splunk administrator, it allows two things: Less load on my search heads Contextual searches that give less experienced users a safe place to start with their investigation.
