Reduce Splunk licensing costs by up to 60% through intelligent pre-ingest filtering. Keep what matters, archive the rest, and extend your Splunk investment without the budget battles.
The Problem
Splunk's per-GB licensing makes comprehensive visibility expensive. High-volume sources like DNS, DHCP, and firewall logs quickly consume your daily allocation. You're constantly choosing what to leave out to stay under budget. And hoping those gaps don't matter during the next incident.
Optimize Splunk with edge processing
Tenzir filters, aggregates, and normalizes data before Splunk ingest. Reduce your daily volume, extend retention to S3, and get more from your Splunk license without the compromise.
The cost optimization layer for Splunk
Tenzir sits between your data sources and Splunk, processing every event before it counts against your license. Filter, transform, and route intelligently.
Why Tenzir maximizes Splunk value
Direct forwarding (Universal Forwarder)
Splunk Universal Forwarders index everything, wasting expensive licenses on noise. Tenzir’s lightweight engine provides the full control needed to optimize data architecture.
Full volume hits license
No pre-ingest transformation
Expensive archive searches (SmartStore/S3 add-on)
Tenzir processes data before Splunk. Reduce volume, normalize for CIM, and maintain archives outside license allocation. Query S3 directly without Splunk's S3 licensing add-on.
