Splunk and Cisco are bringing the power of observability, security, and automation to Red Hat Summit 2026 this May in Atlanta, GA. We’re excited to connect with customers and partners building more resilient, automated operations.

At the event, we’ll showcase how Splunk, Cisco, and Red Hat help organizations see more, act faster, and automate with confidence across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Turning Observability into Automated Resilience

Organizations aren’t struggling to collect data—they’re struggling to act on it.

Splunk delivers full-stack observability, monitoring, and predictive insights, while Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform automates response and resolution at scale. Splunk and Event-Driven Ansible close the gap between detection and action—turning insights into automated actions at enterprise scale.

At the core of this integration is a powerful receive-decide-respond model driven by Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) and Event-Driven Ansible. Splunk ITSI utilizes advanced AI and event analytics to cut through alert noise, correlating data across monitoring sources to pinpoint true business-critical issues. Once an anomaly is detected, the integration seamlessly routes these insights to Event-Driven Ansible. From there, customizable Ansible Rulebooks evaluate the event and instantly trigger the exact right response—eliminating manual triage and drastically accelerating your Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR).
