Story
Industrials work at 3M spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Log investigation was splitting across regional habits. On-call engineers asked for a shared way to run incident response without freezing local judgment.
Splunk (Splunk SOAR) is what they standardized on. Splunk (a Cisco company) is a data platform for security and observability, used to search machine data and investigate incidents. 3M uses it as the system of record for log investigation, with on-call engineers as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
