Splunk administrator
After one year here in RBS I have learned and adapted well in their way of work. Always seeking ways to improve or learn a new technology by attending DevOps meetings or Splunk user meet ups in Napier University. I have now an intern apprentice that helps me with the admin, tuning and trouble-shooting while helping me to cling to my knowledge by reviewing them when needed to help. I also help an external team set up to look at first-line issues. My main role in RBS is to help all teams on boarding to reach production. I do this by advising/showing/helping them to understand how to meet their requirement by making sure it fits in RBS module and standards. After development I promote all apps after discussing retention and licence, Some times they retention and volume of data succeeds our hardware in place, we then work out with projects to implement a new indexer and this in many cases is implemented by me.
