Learn about new features, changes, and improvements to UpGuard: The enterprise's infrastructure monitoring needs have evolved drastically over the years; more often, firms need operational intelligence regarding the health and performance of a myriad of IT assets: physical/virtual servers, applications/services, security devices, and more. It's worth noting that although Splunk is quite proficient in IT operations monitoring, it isn't exactly a monitoring tool per se—the solution focuses on providing search, monitoring, and analysis capabilities for log files and other types of machine data.

The component essentially fetches SCOM events/alert data and forwards it to Splunk, thereby making it possible to search and report on SCOM event/alert data from within the platform.

But without an efficient mechanism for traversing and making sense out of this sea of data, firms are crippled in their ability to prevent outages and data breaches.

Enterprises with predominantly Windows-based environments will find System Center/SCOM in closer alignment with their needs, though again—many organizations have chosen to integrate the two, pushing SCOM events/alert data to Splunk for analysis and reporting.
