Analytics & Monitoring

Manages Splunk alert life cycles by creating configurations, monitoring triggered events, and handling notification workflows via the REST API.

The Splunk Alert skill enables Claude to programmatically interact with Splunk's alerting subsystem, allowing for seamless automation of observability and incident response tasks. It provides a comprehensive interface for defining alert conditions, setting thresholds, and scheduling searches using cron syntax. Beyond creation, the skill allows users to monitor 'fired' alerts in real-time, filter them by severity, and perform administrative actions like acknowledgment or deletion.
