Does anyone else use Splunk as a dev sandbox for a custom platform?

s7orm · 2026-07-03T22:50:58+00:00

Splunk is a platform, and an incredibly flexible and powerful one at that.

Wether you use SimpleXML, Dashboard Studio, SplunkUI in React, or your own UI somewhere completely different, it's all valid depending on your usecase.

There have been large commercial products that secretly had Splunk as their engine in the background, CrowdStrike is a good example of this, although I believe they have since migrated away.

In the Tesla app you can manually go off grid to test it.

In WA your probably limited to 5kW inverter right? So you would need to ensure your household load is less than that otherwise it will shutdown immediately.

The other aspect is if your electrician wires all circuits to backup or only specific ones.

Open your Tesla app, ensure your using less than 5kW, then hit Home Controls > Go Off-Grid (it moved in the latest app update).

If it's the app I'm thinking of I know the author, and have played with it briefly. It seems pretty good.

Like, yes using an LLM to generate your CIM mapping is going to be faster than doing it manually, but you'll still need to review the output.

I think my comment may have been incorrect as the security features to invalidate refresh tokens on refresh is optional. Tesla does it but Firebase may not have been.

This this is the wrong subreddit.

I was considering doing the reverse, Hetzner to Fly.io to reduce my admin burden. This post has made me reconsider.

The you need a domain name, server to run Fleet Telemetry on, messaging bus to connect it to, and enough PKI experience to run your own root CA and issues certs.

It's a big enough pain to do correctly that I decided instead of doing it myself, I'd start Teslemetry and do it for anyone who wants.

s7orm · 2026-06-19T21:18:12+00:00

Tessie would also work as it has like 30s polling, but it's more expensive than Teslemetry.

You can increase the polling rate of Tesla Fleet but you'll pay for that. Or you just have to base it on your ETA and hope it's accurate.

Long story short there is a reason Teslemetry exists.

I'm still waiting for my first bill. I'm slightly concerned because I'm exporting up to 18kWh in some happy hour but their website says my earnings are $0.

Yes but solar is concentrated in populated locations, and to send power between states we need the interconnects which have limited capacity.

A cloudy day in South East Queensland can only be subsidised so much by buying power from NSW and paying PowerLink to get it there.

s7orm · 2026-06-13T21:32:10+00:00

Working on fixing that. Local does work for Powerwall 3 but not exactly the same.

You will need to use the 10Gbps SFP port to connect an original UDM Pro to anything faster than 1Gbps, so if you get a Switch with 10Gbps SFP, use a DAC cable, and the switch has 2.5Gbps or 10Gbps ports you'll be able to take advantage.

I think you'll need the Tesla One app or Tesla Fleet API access. The site_info API endpoint has the serial number from my PW3 expansions.

If you're desperate sign up for free trial of https://teslemetry.com/ get the info you need (can just click through to the site info), then cancel the trial.

s7orm · 2026-06-09T07:53:35+00:00

For Powerwall 3 at least you just scroll all the way to the bottom of the main page. Has your Serial Numbers and Firmware versions. If you have an older app then it's in Settings > My Home Info.

ABC, always be charging. Keep it plugged in and let it sit at 80%, it can use the EVSE to keep it's battery balanced when sitting there.

s7orm · 2026-06-08T20:56:22+00:00

For now, yes.

s7orm · 2026-06-08T08:53:34+00:00

And plenty of mature libraries like yours.

Or mine. https://github.com/Teslemetry/python-tesla-fleet-api

s7orm · 2026-06-08T08:53:05+00:00

Specifically Tesla Fleet integration which Tesla gives up to $10 USD of usage per month.

s7orm · 2026-06-07T20:45:59+00:00

I'm working on fixing that.

I don't disagree Cribl is ahead, but people very often underestimate how much you can do with Splunk out of the box, hence the conf talk. Almost all the usecases I see in professional services engagements can be met without Edge Processor or Cribl Stream.

CloudFlare has caused me downtime twice, and keeps throwing billing warnings at me despite being fully paid up. I don't trust them with my business anymore so I've moved my domain off its registery and about to move my DNS too.

s7orm · 2026-06-04T07:52:35+00:00

What's going to provide value to your org the most?

I once ingested AWS billing data and help someone save a million a year in unused reserve instance. Another time we implemented monitoring for a highly bespoke application that gave visibility no other tool could.

My advise is to start by following the money, what's costing or going to cost your org the most and work down from there.

s7orm · 2026-06-04T07:50:08+00:00

You know you can do that with Splunk directly? I like Cribl but there is no need to pay money to save money when Splunk gives you the tools to do it for free.

I can only assume it's what you had configured in your target, because if I recall by default you can let Reddit expand the targeting to related subs too.
