@syedzahabullah
I build high-volume Splunk platforms, automate operations, and reduce enterprise log ingestion costs.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Fiserv, I manage a distributed multi-site Splunk environment processing 130TB per day across search head clusters, multi-site indexer clusters, deployment infrastructure, syslog, HEC servers, and heavy forwarders.
I've managed more than 80,000 Splunk agents globally, using automation and orchestration to achieve over a 90% healthy success rate. I also improved platform reliability with systemd, watchdogs, and automated remediation and notification scripts.
I build efficient data pipelines with Splunk Edge Processor and Cribl Stream, reducing data volume by up to 60% and cutting daily ingestion by 2TB. My work includes routing Linux, Windows, container, and syslog data to Google Chronicle.
Earlier at Fiserv, I created dashboards, reports, and alerts, onboarded data from cloud, database, operating system, and container sources, and built scripts to migrate 60,000 Splunk agents. I bring hands-on experience with Splunk architecture, Python, Ansible, AWS, Azure, GitHub, and enterprise security monitoring.
