Reduced downtime + increased service availability = better customer satisfaction
36
ML Use Case
Monitor noise rise for 20,000+ cell towers to increase service and device
availability, reduce MTTR
Technical overview
• A customized solution deployed in production based on outlier detection.
• Leverage previous month data and voting algorithms
“The ability to model complex systems and alert on deviations is where IT and security
operations are headed … Splunk Machine Learning has given us a head start...”
37. Reliable website updates
Proactive website monitoring leads to reduced downtime
37
“Splunk ML helps us rapidly improve end-user experience by ranking issue severity
which helps us determine root causes faster thus reducing MTTR and improving
SLA”
• Very frequent code and config updates (1000+ daily) can cause site issues
• Find errors in server pools, then prioritize actions and predict root cause
• Custom outlier detection built using ML Toolkit Outlier assistant
• Built by Splunk Architect with no Data Science background
