If you run Splunk for observability, you can easily integrate with Request Tracker (RT) or RTIR with the RT connector app available right in Splunkbase. This integration is designed to automatically create new tickets from alerts, allowing you to effectively assign and manage incidents, ensuring that your team is always on top of issues as they arise.
Splunk Enterprise Security is a comprehensive security solution often used to automate monitoring of machine-generated data produced throughout an organization. It acts as a robust log aggregator, detecting security threats in real-time. By centralizing logs from across your IT infrastructure, Splunk enhances observability, helping you identify and address issues quickly.
Integrating RT with Splunk Enterprise Security
Whenever something is detected in logs indicating a production problem or possible security issue, Splunk Enterprise Security triggers an alert. With the RT connector, you can select “RT” when configuring your action, and the alert will then automatically create a ticket. Your team is then immediately notified about any issues, allowing for faster triage, tracking, and resolution.
You can watch the process for setting up an alert below.

Enhanced Observability: By leveraging Splunk’s log aggregation capabilities, you gain a clearer view of your IT infrastructure, making it easier to spot and resolve issues before they escalate.
Improved Tracking: All incident-related information is automatically logged and tracked within RT, and tickets can be assigned to a team member, reviewed, prioritized, and ultimately resolved. All activity is recorded and communicated in RT.
