# Splunk dashboards and audit logs

Ping provides a free [Splunk for PingFederate](https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/976) application that customers can use to create dashboards.

This application takes advantage of the [Writing audit logs for Splunk](../administrators_reference_guide/pf_writin_audit_log_splunk.html) and [Outbound provisioning audit logging](../administrators_reference_guide/pf_outbound_provis_audit_loggin.html), which can be enabled in `log4j2.xml` file.

## Examples of Splunk dashboards

To help you review different events, the following dashboards are available from the top-level menu of the PingFederate app for Splunk:

* Account Manager

* Identity Provider

* Service Provider

* OAuth Server

After you select a sub-menu, an image like the following **OAuth Server Client Request** example is displayed while the dashboard waits for the search results.
