Gigamon and Splunk Integrate Deep Observability Pipeline With Federated Search

Gigamon and Splunk, a Cisco company, described a partnership that integrates the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline with Splunk Federated Search. The work addresses how distributed telemetry can be accessed and analyzed across multiple environments without centralizing or duplicating data.

The companies said the integration connects network-derived telemetry to federated search so teams can query and analyze datasets where the data resides. Gigamon described the pipeline as extracting and enriching application metadata across East-West traffic and North-South flows, while Splunk Federated Search was described as extending access to distributed datasets in place.

Gigamon and Splunk said the partnership supports customer choice in where data is stored, including Splunk Cloud Platform indexes, Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, and other third-party repositories. The organizations said federated access remains available across environments to support balancing performance, cost, compliance, and data sovereignty requirements.

Srinivas Chakravarty, vice president, cloud ecosystem, at Gigamon, said, “Together, the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline and Splunk Federated Search help customers transform raw network traffic into high-fidelity, actionable telemetry and access it wherever it resides. This approach reduces unnecessary data movement and ingestion costs while improving visibility and enabling earlier threat detection across security and observability workflows.” Seth Brickman, vice president of Product Management for the Splunk Platform, Cisco, said, “By combining Splunk’s Federated Search capabilities with network telemetry from Gigamon, we’re helping customers gain richer operational and security insights while reducing the cost and complexity of managing large volumes of data.”

The companies said the Gigamon Federated Search App includes pre-built processing pipelines for Splunk Edge and Ingest Processor, federated search templates, and unified dashboards, and that it integrates the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline with Splunk Edge and Ingest Processors to process, route, filter, and enrich telemetry closer to the source; the solution was described as available today to joint customers.
