Splunk Lantern’s Silver: A Win for Customers
Customers Jennifer SwallowKey takeaways
- Splunk Lantern brings together expert knowledge from over 100 contributors to share practical, real-world tips that help users get more value from Splunk.
- The platform makes previously hard-to-find insights easily accessible, helping hundreds of thousands of users improve their skills and outcomes.
- Its impact and value were recognized with a national award, highlighting its role in supporting and educating the Splunk community.
In 2025, 109 different Splunkers and SplunkTrust members contributed articles to Splunk Lantern. Their expertise spans a huge variety of roles from Splunk Platform Field Architects to Staff Engineering Product Managers, and from Observability Field Solutions Engineers to Security Assigned Experts. Collectively, they wrote about 17 different primary Splunk software products, and a whole lot more if you count all the add-ons and apps in their use cases.
These thought leaders power Splunk Lantern, keeping it updated with innovative applications of our software and unique use cases that provide more value to our customers. Their work brings out knowledge that was previously “trapped” in emails, Slack threads, or internal wikis, and makes it available to all Splunk users, no matter their service tier. They ensure that practical, field-tested knowledge reaches users when and where they need it.
And now their efforts, together with the customer-driven redesign of the Splunk Lantern website, have been nationally recognized with a Silver Stevie Award for Best Use of Thought Leadership in Customer Service! From over 2,000 nominations in the Sales & Customer Service category, a panel of judges selected Splunk Lantern for excellence in bringing expert advice to our community and leading the way to success.
This award isn't just a trophy for our shelf; it’s a validation of the trust you place in us. Another great statistic is that last year 815,756 Splunk users like you came to our site to use our actionable, scenario-based articles to further their Splunk practice.
