Splunk On-Call (previously known as VictorOps) was created to make it easier for teams to manage their on-call resources. The moment something goes wrong, Splunk On-Call springs into action. Teams can receive context-rich notifications and collaborate to enable fast and efficient incident resolution with reduced downtime. Stakeholders can view critical incidents and the steps taken to resolve their issues.

The on-call experiences of both DevOps teams and clients become much more satisfying with Splunk On-Call. Its fast incident response features quickly deliver the right alerts to the right people reducing the time it takes to resolve incidents. You can integrate Splunk On-Call with your existing tools such as MetricFire to manage incident timelines and reporting for blameless post-incident reviews. As well as improving client incident resolution experience, Splunk On-Call's notification and incident management features reduce employee burnout. Mobile-first notifications and machine learning tools help make being on-call easy and accessible no matter where your team members are located.

Splunk On-Call comes with a range of incident analysis and reporting tools. With reports like MTTA/MTTR, Incident Frequency, and Post-Incident Review, teams can manage incident hotspots and improve incident resolution. You can monitor team and individual performance metrics, review incident frequency, and create reports for post-incident reviews.

With Metricfire, you can turbocharge your Splunk On-Call monitoring tools. By integrating Splunk On-Call with the Metricfire platform, you can display your metrics on aesthetically pleasing dashboards. MetricFire's advanced filtering lets you choose only the data views you want to see and discard the rest. You can also set up simple rules to discard data you no longer keep, plus receive alerts via email or Slack.

Logentries is a service that automatically collects and centralizes all of your log data into one secure location in any format. From there, you can search and visualize all your aggregated log data. It uses both agent-based and agentless collection of logs. If an issue occurs, Logentries shows an aggregated tail view so you can review what is happening across your logs in real-time. With Logentries, you can dramatically reduce the time you spend diagnosing and resolving issues.

Logentries is a fully scalable service that dynamically auto-scales your services environment as log volumes expand and change. By aggregating all your logs into one secure location, you can efficiently monitor and track valuable log events in real-time, without the hassle of complicated configurations.

Logentries lets you monitor and track essential server resource usages, such as CPU, memory, and network and disk usage. Plus, it aggregates all server and application logs. By aggregating all your logs in one place, you can quickly review your application performance metrics, usage trends, and application load. This strategy helps you better understand how end-users are using your applications and how their behavior might affect other performance metrics. 

You can use your log data to better understand application activity from client-side front-end apps to your back-end components for fine-grained user tracking. And while Logentries offers a straightforward, real-time approach to monitoring and accessing valuable application usage data, there is an even better way to monitor your aggregated log data.

By integrating Logentries with the Metricfire platform, you can turbocharge your log monitoring services to new levels and enjoy metrics displayed on aesthetically pleasing dashboards. You can import Logentries data into Hosted Graphite using the leexportpy tool. This flexible and extensible Python application enables log search results to be easily exported to third-party services, including MetricFire.

MetricFire is a full-scale platform that offers infrastructure, system, and application monitoring using a suite of open-source monitoring tools. The platform allows you to use either Prometheus- or Graphite-as-a-Service and have your metrics displayed on aesthetically-pleasing Grafana dashboards. 

MetricFire offers its users a complete ecosystem of end-to-end infrastructure monitoring, which is made up of three of the most popular open-source monitoring software services: Prometheus, Graphite, and Grafana. As well, plugins for a number of other open-source projects are preconfigured, such as StatsD, collectd, and Kubernetes. You get all these within a hosted environment as a single product. Not only does MetricFire fit well into the infrastructure monitoring use-case, such as network monitoring and server monitoring, we also do application monitoring and business intelligence.

Through this hosted environment, MetricFire works to boost the unique features of the open source projects to give you more functionality than the original products. Below are some of the MetricFire features at a glance: 

Cloud and on Premise Monitoring

Hosted Prometheus

Hosted Graphite

Grafana Dashboards

Whether to use Prometheus or Graphite is a great question. We’ve looked deeper into this decision in our blog article, Prometheus or Graphite. While Prometheus is a newer software that has a multidimensional data structure, Graphite is robust and sufficient. The key thing to remember is that Hosted Graphite by MetricFire is more than just Graphite. Our Hosted Graphite product actually adds data dimensionality and better data storage.

The benefits of MetricFire are:

No vendor lock-ins
MetricFire allows you to request for a full export at any time, because you will always own the data you input. You get all the benefits of an open-source tool with the stability and security of a SaaS tool.
