Advanced Support for Splunk

What is Advanced Support for Splunk?

Even after you install Splunk, you can expand the scope of its use by adding new logs to be imported, creating search statements according to your purpose, and creating visualization dashboards. Furthermore, there are more and more cases these days where maintenance is required according to the customer's unique environment when introducing/replacing with the optimal solution.

This is where the skills required to use and operate Splunk become necessary. With this service, Macnica will send dedicated engineers to answer any questions you may have about using Splunk that go beyond the scope of our regular technical support (Basic Support), taking into account your environment and configuration.

*For details on the scope, please see "Differences from Basic Support" below.
