Splunk services
You already pay for Splunk. We make sure it is deployed correctly, receiving the right data, and showing people what they need. Fixed-price projects when the scope is clear. Engineers by the hour when it is not, or when you need extra capacity.
When this is the right fit
- Splunk is installed but half the data sources are not onboarded.
- An upgrade or a Splunk Cloud migration is overdue and has no owner.
- Dashboards were built by someone who has since left.
- License usage is unclear and the renewal is approaching.
- You need a Splunk engineer on your team for a defined number of hours, rather than a full project engagement.
- You are a prime contractor or a state vendor with a Splunk labor category to fill.
What we do
| Service | What you get |
|---|---|
| Deployment and architecture | Sized, documented installation on premises or in Splunk Cloud |
| Upgrades and migrations | Version upgrades and on-premises to Splunk Cloud migrations with rollback plans |
| Data onboarding and normalization | Sources ingested, parsed, and CIM-compliant, with documentation |
| Dashboards, alerts, and reports | Built around the questions your team asks |
| Health check and license optimization | Fixed-scope review with a written findings and remediation report |
Engineers by the hour
For teams that need a Splunk engineer rather than a project proposal. You purchase hours, and we provide the engineer, the timesheets, and the reporting.
- A named engineer who stays on your work for the duration. You approve any substitution.
- An hourly rate and a not-to-exceed ceiling in writing before the first hour is billed.
- A weekly timesheet with a one-paragraph summary: what was done, what is next, hours remaining against the ceiling.
- Work is remote by default, with on-site time in Northern Virginia, DC, and Maryland by arrangement.
Typical uses: covering for a Splunk admin who left, until the replacement is hired; additional capacity for a migration or a data-onboarding effort; standing hours for a security or operations team that needs Splunk expertise a few days a month; a labor category on a prime contractor’s or state agency’s time-and-materials order.
Ongoing coverage. If you need Splunk monitored on an ongoing basis rather than for a project, we scope that as a standing engagement.
Engagement models
- Time and materials. Engineers by the hour, day, or week, with a rate and a ceiling in writing.
- Fixed-price project. Defined deliverables, defined price. Deployment, migration, onboarding, dashboards, health check.
Who does the work
A lead Splunk engineer you will have met before the first hour is billed. Qualifications relevant to the work are set out in the proposal.
