Splunk product abbreviations
Approved Splunk product abbreviations enhance clarity and efficiency, especially in space-limited contexts. Always consult the style sheet and legal guidelines before using abbreviations.
Some Splunk products have approved abbreviations that you can use, such as Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) and Splunk Enterprise Security (ES). Refer to your product's specific style sheet to find what abbreviations are approved. Product abbreviations can be useful in the following situations:
- If you need to refer to the product name multiple times on a page
- If you have limited character space, such as in a table or in the UI
Do not use abbreviations if they aren't approved by Legal. For example, do not abbreviate terms like "Splunk Enterprise", "Splunk Cloud Platform", or "Splunk Observability Cloud".
Follow these guidelines for using abbreviations:
- For general guidelines, see Abbreviations, acronyms, initialisms.
- For UI text, see Product abbreviations.Note: If you're not sure whether to use an abbreviation, contact your legal liaison and the Information Architecture team.
