# Splunk Connect

Although the Kubernetes Management Operator on managed clusters provides integrated monitoring and visibility capabilities, organizations may have standardized on [Splunk](https://www.splunk.com/) for their application log aggregation and/or cluster monitoring.

[Splunk Connect for Kubernetes](https://github.com/splunk/splunk-connect-for-kubernetes) provides a way to import and search your Kubernetes logging, object, and metrics data into Splunk. This recipe describes how customers can standardize the configuration, deployment, and lifecycle management of Splunk Connect across their fleet of clusters.
