Send alerts and dashboards to Splunk Mobile users
You can send actionable alerts, visualizations, and push notifications from the Splunk Search & Reporting app to Splunk Mobile users. When data triggers an alert, Splunk Mobile users receive the alert on their mobile device.
See View, respond to, and share alerts for more information about viewing alerts on the go with Splunk Mobile.
To prevent your data requests from timing out, avoid dashboards with more visualizations than your Splunk Enterprise max concurrent searches setting. You can also increase the search capacity by increasing the number of indexers in your Splunk Enterprise deployment. See How concurrent users and searches impact performance in the Splunk Enterprise Capacity Planning manual for more information.
Prerequisites
Complete the following before sending alerts to the Splunk Mobile app:
- Splunk Secure Gateway is enabled on your Splunk platform instance by an admin. See Get started with Splunk Secure Gateway.
- Log in to a Splunk platform instance.
If you were previously using Splunk Cloud Gateway, alerts you created in Splunk Cloud Gateway do not migrate to Splunk Secure Gateway. You must recreate those alerts to use them with Splunk Secure Gateway.
