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.
Slack is a popular channel-based messaging platform that improves business communication and collaboration. This cloud-based solution offers enterprise-grade security and scalability, along with many innovative features that make it easier to have quality work conversations.
The core functionality of Slack revolves around chat rooms where users send messages and files. You can organize these rooms by topics, teams, projects, office locations, and other categories to keep the discussions highly relevant to that work. Users can also directly message each other. In addition to text messages, voice, screen sharing, and video chats are also supported.
You have a lot of flexibility in working with Slack. Your channels can be open to everyone in the organization, available for users outside of your organization, or made private for a subset of employees. A robust search function simplifies the process of looking up information, so it’s readily available. There is also an option of free-to-use and paid plans.
Slack workspaces create a central repository for work-related information, whether that’s being shared in messages, file attachments, links, or other formats. Slack performance monitoring allows you to see how your organization is utilizing this platform, whether it’s having issues, and ways to optimize it for your specific use cases.
One of Slack’s strengths is its integration support with many software types, allowing you to perform your work without leaving the workspace. For example, when you connect MetricFire and Slack, you can send immediate notifications to a specific channel so the right staff members see it. Since the alerts show up in a centralized communications tool being used for other daily work activities, they get noticed and acted on faster.

Through this hosted environment, MetricFire boosts the unique features of open-source projects to give you more functionality than the original products. Below are some of the MetricFire features at a glance:
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:
“We now have over ten times the amount of metrics we started with, and on different accounts. One of the great things about MetricFire is that scaling to support this increase has been hassle-free, requiring no additional work on our side.”
“Building and managing an on-premise installation at this scale would require a lot of engineer time, especially in the first year...we use this engineering time to work on initiatives closer to our core business”
“There’s complete transparency with everything MetricFire do which means we can accurately predict what we’ll be spending and comfortably keep within our budget.”
"Every time I have a question, I get an answer from support after just a couple of hours. Their technical knowledge is excellent.”
