Automated Splunk Critical Alert Digest

Every morning, WebRun opens Splunk, checks overnight results for saved searches and triggered alerts, ranks findings by severity, posts the digest to Teams led by the highest-priority item, and schedules an incident review for anything major.

In short

How do I get a daily digest of critical Splunk alerts?

WebRun checks Splunk's saved searches and triggered alerts every morning, ranks the findings by severity, and posts a Teams digest led by the highest-priority item. For anything above your severity threshold, it schedules an incident review on Google Calendar with the on-call owner invited, so serious findings get a meeting, not just a notification.

  • The team starts the day with alerts ranked by severity, not a raw list
  • Major findings get a scheduled review instead of sitting in a channel
  • A quiet night is confirmed, not assumed

Questions, answered

Will it take action on an alert, like blocking an IP?

No. WebRun only reports and summarizes what Splunk found. Any remediation or blocking action is left to your security or ops team.

How does it decide what needs a formal review?

It compares each finding's severity against the threshold you set, so only the alerts serious enough to warrant a meeting get one scheduled.

What if there's nothing critical overnight?

The digest still posts, confirming a quiet night, so the team knows the check ran rather than assuming no news is good news.

Put this on autopilot.
