Who is responsible for monitoring Splunk Cloud?

The responsibility for monitoring Splunk Cloud lies with Splunk itself. This means that Splunk has the infrastructure and expertise to oversee the operational health and performance of the Cloud service, ensuring that it runs smoothly and efficiently. By handling monitoring, Splunk can proactively address issues, maintain security, and ensure compliance with service agreements.

In a cloud-based service model, the provider typically manages the underlying infrastructure, including monitoring for performance, availability, and any potential security vulnerabilities. This management allows customers to focus on utilizing the capabilities of Splunk Cloud for their data analysis and insights without worrying about the complexities of the underlying environment.

While customers do play a role in monitoring their specific applications and data use within the Splunk Cloud ecosystem, the overarching monitoring responsibilities are designated to Splunk. This division of responsibility is a critical aspect of the cloud service model, ensuring that the infrastructure is robust and well-maintained from the provider's end.
