Splunk On-Call

The ANOW! Observe integration for Splunk On-Call routes operational alerts from Alertmanager into Splunk On-Call, ensuring signal-rich event delivery for incidents like job failures and SLA breaches. This one-way outbound integration feeds enriched notifications for rapid, efficient incident resolution.

Splunk On-Call

About the Integration

The ANOW! Observe integration with Splunk On-Call (formerly VictorOps) acts as an alert source, feeding critical operational alerts into the incident-response and on-call management platform. It routes events such as job failures, SLA breaches, and anomalies, originating from ANOW! Automate or BMC Control-M, directly to Splunk On-Call. This ensures that workload automation incidents are promptly delivered to your primary incident-management platform for triage and resolution.

The integration operates as a one-way outbound system. Alertmanager, the Prometheus alerting component integrated in ANOW! Observe, sends JSON events via HTTP POST to the Splunk On-Call REST endpoint. Authentication relies on an integration API key and a routing key issued by Splunk On-Call, with communication secured via HTTPS. Alertmanager performs deduplication, grouping, and prioritization before sending alerts to ensure incident timelines receive signal-rich events without redundant notifications.

This integration benefits IT operations teams, SREs, and on-call engineers managing complex hybrid IT landscapes. It streamlines the incident response workflow by centralizing alerts from ANOW! Observe within Splunk On-Call, enabling teams to leverage their existing on-call rotations, escalation policies, and remediation processes for critical workload automation incidents.

Integration Benefits

Expedite Incident Response

Automate the delivery of critical operational alerts from ANOW! Observe directly to Splunk On-Call. This ensures that incidents like job failures and SLA breaches are immediately routed to the right on-call teams, reducing Mean Time To Acknowledge (MTTA) and accelerating resolution.

Enhance Alert Quality

Alertmanager performs deduplication, grouping, and prioritization of alerts before sending them to Splunk On-Call. This process delivers signal-rich events, preventing alert fatigue and allowing on-call teams to focus on actionable incidents rather than redundant notifications.

Maintain Audit Trails

Each CRITICAL, WARNING, and RECOVERY event sent to Splunk On-Call is linked to its corresponding workflow run within ANOW! Observe. This creates a governed execution record with identity, timestamp, and content.

Protect Existing Workflows

Integrate ANOW! Observe with your established Splunk On-Call incident management workflows without disruption. This solution leverages Splunk On-Call's existing on-call rotations, escalation policies, and remediation tools.

7 Best Batch Processing Software for Enterprise Applications

You need batch processing software that completes every job within the batch window across mainframe, SAP, and cloud. Yet one batch chain rarely stays on one system, and windows slip at the handoffs. When you need to migrate batch workloads, judge platforms by how far their dependencies reach and how vendors convert job definitions and calendars from your current scheduler. Here are the 7 platforms worth a shortlist.
