Are you looking to gain deeper visibility into your database performance, whether you are a Splunk Observability Cloud user or transitioning from the AppDynamics ecosystem? We invite you to join our upcoming Community Office Hours: Database Monitoring in Splunk Observability Cloud on Thursday, April 16th, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM PST.

This session is designed for SREs, ITOps teams, and anyone responsible for optimizing critical applications. We will dive into the power of Database Monitoring in Splunk Observability Cloud and show you how to move beyond siloed tools to achieve a truly unified view of your infrastructure.

Why Attend?

Whether you are already leveraging Splunk Observability Cloud or are familiar with the powerful insights of AppDynamics, this session will demonstrate how to:

  • Identify Bottlenecks Faster: Pinpoint slow or inefficient queries before they impact your users.
  • Correlate Data: Bridge the gap between application performance and database activity for rapid root cause analysis.
  • Accelerate Remediation: Leverage AI-powered recommendations to resolve issues with confidence.
  • Experience Unified Observability: See how Splunk is evolving to provide a seamless monitoring experience that brings together the best of our observability platforms.

What to Expect

Our technical experts will be on hand to share best practices, demonstrate new capabilities, and answer your most pressing questions. This is an open AMA (Ask Me Anything) format, so come prepared with your specific challenges!

Sample questions we can cover:

  • How do I proactively find and resolve slow queries?
  • What is the best way to connect database performance with application and infrastructure metrics?
  • How can I troubleshoot query performance and identify the root cause effectively?
  • Are there specific tips for query optimization?
  • How do I configure telemetry collection in Splunk Observability Cloud?
  • For our AppDynamics users: How does this experience compare to what you are used to, and how are databases instrumented in this environment?

How to Join

We want to ensure we address your specific needs, so please submit your questions in advance when you register. Pre-submitted questions will be prioritized, though we will also open the floor for live Q&A during the session.

  • Date: Thursday, April 16th
  • Time: 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM PST
  • Join the Conversation: You can also connect with the community in our #office-hours Slack channel

We look forward to connecting with you and helping you take your database monitoring strategy to the next level.
