Using Splunk is dependent on whether or not your program wants to stand up their own Splunk instance or take advantage of an existing or enterprise Splunk environment. For example, if your program wants to take advantage of an existing Splunk instance - IRM has developed an enterprise platform: IRM Splunk Data Analytics for IT Operations (DAFI). IRM Splunk is available to those in the Department who wants to use Splunk on the enterprise unclassified SBU network - OpenNet. Classified Splunk is part of the roadmap for the future. As IRM matures their enterprise instance of Splunk, that platform will serve any customers that choose to take advantage of the service, allowing bureaus or programs to send data (e.g. application logs) and benefit from integration with enterprise datasets (e.g. network and active directory) while IRM would also deliver the Splunk ‘platform’ (to include administering and maintaining the Splunk server and storage environment). DOS Enterprise Splunk Factsheet 4 TECH BRIEF If a program wants to leverage the IRM Splunk, how will IRM support requests for specific program dashboards, additional Splunk apps, assistance with Splunk searches, and data ingestion issues? In the short term, the best way to accomplish this goal would be for a given program to purchase their own Splunk professional services. IRM will have a small team who will be working these types of requests and issues based on priority, but they will be primarily focused on enterprise data sets and dashboards (especially at the beginning). Additional details on obtaining Splunk professional services via the Splunk PS BPA can be found below. How much does Splunk cost? Example costs associated with operating an individual Splunk instance include Splunk software license, infrastructure (physical or virtual machines, or cloud IaaS), and trained resources who can admin and operate the Splunk platform. In FY19 the Department signed an Enterprise License Agreement for Splunk license. This ELA provides anyone in the Department a single acquisitions vehicle for procuring Splunk software licenses and benefits all with discounts through bulk purchasing economies of scale. More details on the ELA (including a cost calculator to obtain your own Splunk license for your own Splunk instance) can
