Razi Asaduddin presented on how ExxonMobil uses Splunk for various purposes including cyber security, network and application performance monitoring, and capacity planning. Some key points included how Splunk has allowed ExxonMobil to gain visibility and insights across data that was previously siloed, and how their use of Splunk has evolved from one-dimensional searches to multi-dimensional pivoting and visualization. Razi also shared best practices like starting with simple questions and gradually building complexity, as well as methods for policing Splunk usage within the organization.
