This month’s releases across the Splunk Observability portfolio deliver earlier detection and faster investigation of business-impacting issues powered by AI, even more options for comprehensive visibility across any environment and any stack, more alert noise control to help users prioritize the issues that matter, and faster, more intuitive onboarding to speed time to value.
AI Assistant
The AI Assistant in Observability Cloud is a new in-product chat experience powered by GenAI that uses natural language to help users detect, investigate, and respond to incidents in their environment. Using powerful domain-specific and in-context Large Language Models (LLMs), the AI Assistant allows engineers to ask questions to the chatbot directly in plain language and gain key insights about their systems faster, regardless of their level of experience in Splunk or observability, reducing their mean time to investigate (MTTI) detect (MTTD) and resolve (MTTR) incidents.
