Case Study: WGT Media achieves full operational visibility into game performance with Splunk Light

WGT Golf Gains Full Operational Visibility into Game Performance with Splunk Light

WGT Media, a San Francisco–based online gaming company with over 20 million players and the #1 free golf game WGT Golf, needed better operational visibility into its applications. With a small IT team and no centralized monitoring, WGT struggled to index and analyze vast volumes of system, server, network and load‑balancer logs to quickly identify root causes of errors—especially after new releases—to protect gameplay and customer satisfaction.

WGT deployed Splunk Light across its application and web servers to centralize logs, create easy‑to‑use dashboards, and set proactive alerts tied to deployments, servers and network components. The solution delivered full visibility into application performance, faster error detection and resolution, improved customer experience, time savings for the small team, reduced errors and a positive impact on revenue; WGT is now exploring expanding Splunk Light into security use cases.
