In the preceding section, we saw how to use R along with Splunk to generate useful insight from the data using R libraries from Splunk itself. In this section, we will see how to use the processing power of Splunk and the visualization power of Tableau for interactive visualization.
Tableau is a very advanced, interactive, business-intelligent software. It helps in deriving instantaneous insights by data transformation into interactive visualizations. It has an easy-to-use drag and drop feature that helps in making highly useful dashboards in minutes. Splunk already has a pivot feature and ample visualization, but Tableau can be used to answer many unknown questions from the data.
With Splunk being a big data tool and Tableau being an excellent interactive visualization tool, their integration can be very useful to derive insight and take informed business decisions on time.
