Turn your Slack data into actionable insights with the new Splunk app

It’s no secret that humans aren’t great at analysing data on our own, particularly when it comes to massive, unstructured data sets. The good news is that there’s Splunk, which is designed to help investigate, monitor, analyse and take action on data. 

With Splunk’s Data-to-Everything platform, companies can turn their data into actionable insights that reduce operational costs and mitigate risks. In short, it’s a lifesaver. And now you can use it seamlessly with Slack. 

That’s because Splunk is releasing a brand-new Splunk Audit API App for Slack. The app can be used with the Slack add-on for Splunk to pull audit logs from Slack Enterprise Grid accounts into Splunk.

The real magic happens in Splunk dashboards. With the integration, admins and security teams can visualise Slack data for display logins, file actions, app installs, permissions and admin actions. With a bird’s-eye view of Slack activity, IT and security personnel can spot suspicious behaviour and make data-driven decisions on the fly to keep their company secure. The app adds one more layer of insight to Slack’s robust set of security and compliance offerings.

This new Splunk integration will also help companies gain valuable insight into their operations and discover usage trends that will allow them to take forward-thinking action on their Slack data. With this information, companies can improve service levels, reduce operational costs, mitigate risk, enhance DevOps collaboration and identify opportunities to create new product and service offerings.
