Without strong visibility and governance, local LLMs risk replicating the fragmented, unsupervised sprawl once seen in shadow IT, complicating security postures and making it difficult for organizations to ensure proper oversight and compliance as these powerful AI tools become embedded in daily workflows. To address this challenge, The Splunk Threat Research Team has released the Splunk Technology Add-on for Ollama that provides comprehensive monitoring and observability capabilities specifically designed for local LLM deployments.

In this Tech Talk, discover how they’re leveraging Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring (IM) to supercharge their Kubernetes operations, detect issues within minutes, and resolve them 90% faster — all while optimizing and scaling like pros.

Learn how to setup Splunk’s Edge Processor on-prem (Splunk Enterprise) in this two-step demo video. This video walks through how to setup the control plane with a data management application, followed by defining and installing an edge processor instance.

The team also published a blog focusing on Audit Logs and Microsoft Office365 Copilot Activity Logs using Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Office 365. This Splunk Add-on allows Splunk to pull service status, service messages and management activity logs from Office 365 Management API.

In this video, you’ll learn how to scrape Prometheus endpoints with the OpenTelemetry Collector’s Prometheus receiver and send metrics to Splunk Observability Cloud. We’ll walk through configuring three common data sources (a Python Flask app, node_exporter for host metrics, and the NGINX Prometheus exporter), show how to enrich metrics with resource attributes, and build simple charts in Splunk Observability Cloud. You’ll see how centralized scraping and consistent tagging make it easy to manage and visualize Prometheus metrics in Splunk Observability Cloud.

This demonstration shows how to use the OpenTelemetry Transformation Language (OTTL) to transform, filter, and enrich telemetry in the OpenTelemetry Collector without changing application code. We walk through a sample Python application and OpenTelemetry configuration file, generate real traffic, and then analyze the results in Splunk Observability Cloud.
