The Slack Audit Logs API is for monitoring the audit events happening in a Slack Enterprise Grid organization to ensure continued compliance, to safeguard against any inappropriate system access, and to allow the user to audit suspicious behavior within the enterprise. This essentially means it is an API to know who did what and when in the Slack Enterprise Grid account. We are excited to announce the Slack Add-on for Splunk, that targets this API as a brand new data source for Splunk.

Logstash was born under this premise and in 2013 Sissel teamed up with Elasticsearch.

Let’s face it, nothing is perfect. The better we architect our systems, though, the more near-perfect they become. But even so, someday, something is likely to go wrong, despite our best effort. Part of preparing for the unexpected is regularly backing up our data to help us recover from eventual failures and this tutorial explains how to use the Elasticsearch Snapshot feature to automatically backup important data.

It's been a while since I've had the opportunity to take a break, come up for air, and write a blog for some of the amazing work the Splunk Threat Research team has done. We have kept busy by shipping new detections under security-content (via Splunk ES Content Update and our API). Also, we have improved the Attack Range project to allow us to test detections described as test unit files.
