Monitor AI tool cost and adoption across your organization with Tokenomics. This feature brings usage data from supported AI third-party providers into Splunk Agent Observability so you can understand cost, adoption, and the teams behind them. You can use Tokenomics to:
  • Monitor your AI cost and adoption in one place, aggregated across supported AI providers.
  • Track active users and usage patterns over time to see which tools teams actually use.
  • Drill down from organization-level totals into providers, models, job families, managers, and individual users.
This documentation varies depending on your deployment type. Select the tab for your deployment type below.
