Splunk Observability as Code: From Zero to Dashboard

[CaitlinHalla]

For the details on what Self-Service Observability and Observability as Code is, we have some awesome content for pre-reading:

• Self-Service Observability: How To Scale Observability Adoption Through Self-Service
• How To Build a Self-Service Observability Practice with Splunk Observability Cloud
• Let’s Talk Terraform

These explore the what, why, and how of Self-Service Observability and Observability as Code.

To get started with a code template for your own Self-Service Observability repository, you can checkout, clone, or use the self-service-observability directory in our splunk/evangelism-public GitHub repository.

This self-service-observability directory contains two commits:

• Commit d0795c9 initializes the setup with OpenTofu (the open-source, drop-in replacement for Terraform)
• Commit b1ee7e4 adds a baseline Splunk Observability Cloud dashboard with a basic chart

For more details on this code base, check out the README.

We’ll occasionally extend this code to add additional observability resources, but no need to wait on us! Use this code as a template to start building out your own Self-Service Observability practice today! New to Splunk Observability Cloud? Try it free for 14 days!
