Cost
NOTE: As of this writing, some units may be eligible for 100% cost coverage through "Security Incentive" funded by Provost/CISO (Urbana).
Splunk is charged monthly, but pricing is based on daily ingest of data @ $72/GB. If daily ingest is 1 GB, basic service price will be $72/month. Default retention period is 90 days. Incentives (from Security) and enhancements (for example, longer retention) are available. For more information, visit the Splunk Service Pricing page.
Usage constraints
90 day retention is available at no additional cost. There is no limit on the number of data sources or forwarding agents a customer may wish to add. If customer need exceeds current license or infrastructure capacity, some time may be required to accommodate need. Splunk is intended for official University business purposes.
Splunk is currently designed for data classified as Public, Internal, and Sensitive. Splunk is not designed for High Risk data. Splunk can be used for data sources (services) which contain High Risk data only if the logs themselves do not contain High Risk data.
If your machine data management use case involves High Risk data, please contact us.

Maintenance hours
The Splunk at Illinois Service is a "hybrid" architecture leveraging both on-premises and Splunk's Splunk Cloud service. Consequently, we are partly dependent on coordination with Splunk's Splunk Cloud service for change management. See our Maintenance Windows and Scheduling Searches page for more details.
