The Splunk App integrates with PowerFlex through these two components:

• Dell EMC PowerFlex Add-on for Splunk
• Dell EMC PowerFlex App for Splunk

Dell EMC PowerFlex Add-on for Splunk collects data from PowerFlex cluster using REST APIs. The Splunk administrator configures required parameters to collect the PowerFlex data and adds required number of PowerFlex clusters to monitor. The configured inputs are associated with a source type.

Dell EMC PowerFlex app presents the data of inputs graphically using dashboards. Some of the key are:

• Overview of metrics that are related to different components of PowerFlex cluster.
• Provides historical data pertaining to system, SDS, SDC, volume, device, and so on.
• Capacity forecasting for protection domain and storage pool.
• Investigates, monitors, and analyzes PowerFlex cluster.
