IT Professionals:
UITS is transitioning the Leveraged Services Log-Alert service from the Splunk Technology software platform to the Elastic NV (formerly Elasticsearch) software platform. Splunk Enterprise licensing expires on November 2, 2021 and will not be renewed.
Only IT-12 dashboards will transition to the new Elastic environment. Departments with non-IT-12 dashboards may consider moving to a new solution of their choosing over the next 12 months. For example, those with custom dashboards may consider Splunk Cloud options or contact OmniSOC for options. The Log-Alert team can assist with custom dashboard exports after the completion of the IT-12 dashboard migrations.
Please check the linked impact spreadsheet [1] that lists IT-12 dashboards by department (Dept. column) to confirm if you support existing IT-12 dashboards. Each line in the spreadsheet tentatively identifies IT-Pro owners of the systems (Owners column) and tentative dates for transition of department IT-12 dashboards (subject to change). A Migration Plan Graphic [2] is also provided.
If you cannot migrate during the indicated dates, notify us via e-mail that you are opting out of the assigned migration window and prefer to onboard after the initial migration has completed.
UITS Leveraged Services is asking identified departments/IT-Pro owners to do the following at the date of their department IT-12 dashboard transition:
· Review the “Migration to Elastic” introductory presentation: https://iu.mediaspace.kaltura.com/media/Migration+to+Elastic+pre-onboarding+introduction+/0_1y0zvqod
· Accept the invitation and attend the meeting with the Log-Alert team to discuss your onboarding to the new Elastic environment.
Onboarding will not begin before November 2, 2020.
Please reach out to the Log-Alert team at lservnix@iu.edu<mailto:lservnix@iu.edu> with questions.
