# Splunk Integration

[The Splunk](https://www.splunk.com/) integration captures alerts from scheduled searches or log monitors and delivers them to on-call responders via ilert. By forwarding relevant technical alerts, your team can rapidly investigate critical events and reduce time to resolution based on log context.
