Splunk Enterprise + VIAVI Observer

Splunk empowers teams with broad visibility into security alerts and threat analytics. VIAVI complements that with high-fidelity, network-based metrics—from both packets and enriched flow—providing the performance impact perspective often missing during investigations.

The VIAVI integration alerts Splunk users to events related to degrading end-user experience (EUE), expiring digital certificates, DNS errors, and unusual interface utilization. The integration enables the correlation of security alerts with service disruptions, aiding in threat validation, prioritization, and resolution.

Why it Matters 

When a potential threat appears in Splunk, teams need to know: Is it impacting services, users, or business operations? VIAVI delivers the performance context to answer that question, enabling more confident prioritization and faster incident response.

With this integration, NetOps and SecOps teams gain a shared lens into security and service health—driving more effective collaboration and a clearer understanding of operational impact.

Not All Alerts Are Created Equal—Focus on What Matters Most

Your SIEM helps you detect the “what.” VIAVI helps you understand the “so what.”

• Launch-in-Context for Faster Resolution
  From a Splunk alert, launch directly into the corresponding details in Observer for deeper analysis, to streamline investigations and accelerate resolution.
• Built for NetSecOps Collaboration
  Give SecOps and NetOps a common source of truth by providing performance data from Observer into Splunk—from end-user experience to protocol-level behavior.
• Real-World Impact, Real-Time Decisions
  Use performance-based metrics to distinguish between high-priority incidents and routine noise—so analysts can focus on what matters.
• Business-Aware Security Insight
  Add performance context to Splunk investigations by aligning detections to service degradations and user experience metrics, helping teams understand business impact and prioritize response.
