FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How does Omnis AI Insights integrate with Splunk and ITSI?
Omnis AI Insights ingests high fidelity Smart Data generated from NETSCOUT’s Adaptive Service Intelligence (ASI) and Deep Packet Inspection (DPI). This curated metadata is streamed into Splunk / ITSI via Kafka or csv, where it enriches logs, metrics, and ITSI KPIs. The result is a unified dataset that supports anomaly detection, service health scoring, and faster root cause analysis within ITSI dashboards and correlation searches.
How does the integration improve Splunk / ITSI’s ability to detect and resolve issues?
Splunk / ITSI becomes more effective when its KPIs and service models are fed with high quality, context rich data. Smart Data enhances anomaly detection, reduces false positives, and provides granular evidence of where and why a service is degrading. Omnis AI Insights correlates network, application, and infrastructure signals before pushing actionable insights into ITSI, enabling faster triage and more confident incident routing.
What data is sent from NETSCOUT to Splunk, and does it increase indexing volume?
The integration sends curated metadata—not full packet captures—into Splunk. This includes session details, performance metrics, error indicators, and service dependency context. Because the data is pre curated and optimized for analytics, it minimizes unnecessary ingestion and avoids the storage and processing overhead associated with raw packet data. This design supports observability at scale without overwhelming Splunk indexing pipelines.
What is required to deploy the integration?
Deployment typically involves configuring the Omnis Streamer export and connecting to Splunk Universal forwarder or Splunk Kafka Connect, validating the Splunk indexes and ITSI KPIs that will receive Smart Data, and ensuring appropriate authentication and network access. No agents or infrastructure changes are required. Once configured, the integration streams real‑time DPI‑derived insights into Splunk, and ITSI can immediately begin using the enriched data for correlation, dashboards, and service health scoring.
How is NETSCOUT’s packet-driven telemetry better than the MELT data we’re already getting?
There are limitations with MELT data alone. Traditional MELT data enriched with NETSCOUT’s high-fidelity, real-time, DPI-powered Smart Data closes critical gaps in visibility and empowers the Splunk AI-based platform to deliver deeper visibility and faster issue resolution that no other solution can achieve.
