See Your Splunk Data Reduction Potential — Before You Touch a Pipeline

See Your Splunk Data Reduction Potential — Before You Touch a Pipeline

Most Splunk environments contain over 90% data that's never read—data that's costing you money while burying the signals your analysts actually need.

‍

This free app analyzes your indexes and sourcetypes to show you what's driving your volume and where optimization opportunities exist.

It installs directly into your Splunk environment and shows you:

Which data sources dominate your footprint – relative volume by index & sourcetype
Where optimization opportunities exist – projected reduction potential by integration type
Before and after projections – visualize the impact of potential changes

Every GB of unnecessary data isn't just inflating your bill—it's slowing investigations, hiding intrusions in baseline noise, and forcing your analysts to filter through events that may not matter.

This app gives you a head start to making informed decisions about your data footprint.

Splunk Data Reduction Analysis Dashboard showing total size before reduction as 819.81 GB, after reduction 532.25 GB, and reduction percentage 35.1%, with pie charts of index sizes before and after reduction, a table of index data reduction details, and bar charts of top 10 indexes by potential savings and data reduction by integration type.

Deciding what data really powers detection

Security telemetry has exploded, but not all of it meaningfully powers detection. Why asking what you need in analytics — not just how much you collect — creates clearer visibility and better outcomes for your security stack.
