Are you looking to bridge the gap between your operational technology (OT) and IT security monitoring? The Cisco Cyber Vision Add-on for Splunk makes it easier than ever.

If you’re looking to jump in and get started with Observability as Code, but you’re not sure where to begin, start here! We’ve set up a template GitHub repository using OpenTofu/Terraform so you can jump in and go from zero to Dashboard in Splunk Observability Cloud.

OpenTelemetry keeps getting easier to adopt — not just in the cloud, but everywhere.
Splunk and Dash0 just contributed the OpenTelemetry Injector to the community: a new way to automatically instrument host-based applications with zero code changes.
In this post, we break down how it works, how it differs from the Operator and Automatic Discovery, and why it’s a big step forward for hybrid observability across on-prem, VMs, and cloud-native workloads.

Once you’ve enabled Automatic Discovery in your Kubernetes environment, the real power comes from how you use it. In this post, we’ll explore practical examples of monitoring databases, caches, and entire application stacks using the Splunk Distribution of the OpenTelemetry Collector. See how to apply Automatic Discovery to complex, real-world scenarios with minimal configuration and maximum visibility in Splunk Observability Cloud.

This month, we’re excited to share a set of new articles that have been created from popular .conf 2025 sessions – from optimizing LLM RAG patterns to optimizing Enterprise Security 8, we’ve created articles that capture all the insights and lessons that our Splunk experts shared.  We’re also taking a look at a comprehensive new article series on scaling Splunk Edge Processor infrastructure, perfect for anyone who wants to take their data management practices to the next level. On top of that we’ve got lots of new articles to share with you, as well as all the details on our new website redesign! Read on to find out more. 

Setting up observability for dynamic environments like Kubernetes can be tedious and error-prone – but it doesn’t have to be. Automatic Discovery in the Splunk Distribution of the OpenTelemetry Collector simplifies observability by automatically detecting new services, generating the right monitoring configuration snippets, and sending metrics to Splunk Observability Cloud in real time.

Business Transactions and Business iQ might seem like similar monitoring features, but they serve fundamentally different purposes in an observability strategy. Business Transactions track the technical health of critical user flows across microservices, while Business iQ reveals things like exactly how much money performance issues are costing you in real revenue and KPIs. Together, they can bridge the gap between code performance and business outcomes.

This post explores when to use each tool and how combining technical journey monitoring with business impact analysis transforms performance management from reactive firefighting to proactive optimization.
