CONTINUOUS RELEASES

Splunk On-Call performs frequent, regular service updates with no service interruptions There will be no impact on incident ingestion, login, or access to incident data during continuous releases.

Splunk On-Call will announce Planned Maintenance activities 14 days prior to the maintenance window. Our communications will specify any required customer actions, such as updates to data ingestion mechanisms or applications.

During Planned Maintenance, incident ingestion, login, and access to incident data may be degraded or unavailable for a short period of time within the maintenance window. Our communications will provide specifics on whether any service will be degraded or unavailable.

Our communications will specify any required customer actions, such as updates to data ingestion mechanisms or applications.

During Emergency Maintenance, incident ingestion, login, and access to incident data may be degraded or unavailable for a short period of time within the window. Our communications will provide specifics on whether any service will be degraded or unavailable.
