IT and Security professionals can now use at-a-glance dashboards for their services, users and infrastructure.
Splunk App for Microsoft Exchange comes with over fifty out-of-the-box dashboards and reports. A unique First Time Run experience detects data you may have already to highlight areas for your specific environment. Host Monitoring, Print Monitoring, and Network Monitoring also light up new possibilities. Key functionalities include:
• Service Analyzer - Gain instant, real-time and historical visibility into the health of your entire email service and all its components, with granular composite health scores across the entire service path. Detect service anomalies faster with visibility into the health of each one of 11 service components that affect your overall email performance including: Outlook RPC, OWA, Active Sync, Transport, SMTP and many more
• Packaged Correlation – Easily identify the inter-relationships between performance, health, and security events using prebuilt dashboards and reports across the entire email service including infrastructure components. Use swim lane visualization and visual correlation across service components to quickly troubleshoot and navigate to the actual source of service degradation.
• Operations Dashboards: Gain up-to-the-minute information on the health of your Exchange environment and its supporting infrastructure such as Windows server and AD, including service availability, organizational reputation, performance data and administrative reports.
• Messaging Tracking: Track and troubleshoot message flow with segmentation and load information about message flow broken down from the desktop to the gateway.
• Client Behavior Monitoring: Gain in-depth visibility into how the messaging service is being utilized, including the method of access (device or protocol), operating system, browser, location and mailbox usage statistics. By identifying user trends, administrators can identify issues or possible bottlenecks and take preventive measures
• Capacity Planning: Plan capacity better with visibility into messaging volume and the number of users your system is handling over time to help you to plan for growth.
