Understand Throttled Data & Test Faster Than Ever Before
Optimizing your user experience has never been easier! Splunk’s latest release brings new capabilities to help IT and engineering teams build, test, and troubleshoot faster in their complex hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
With the new Try Now feature within Splunk Synthetic Monitoring and Detector enhancements for Splunk APM’s Autodetect, users can quickly create synthetic tests to catch performance problems earlier in development pipelines and understand when service spikes lead to throttled trace data. Here’s a summary of what’s new and how to get started:
Shorten the setup time for synthetic tests
Newly packaged inside Splunk Synthetic Monitoring, the Try Now capability enables users to easily verify that each step of their synthetic test is working without losing progress to check functionality. By checking the performance and availability of critical end-user journeys in the absence of real user traffic with in-context verification, users can execute function tests faster without losing progress, detecting and resolving issues before customers are impacted.
Measure and control service data more efficiently
With the latest detector enhancements, APM’s Autodetect now helps engineering teams more effectively measure and control their service data. Teams can detect when APM starts to throttle their trace data, correlate which events from their environment were the reason (such as workload increases or new releases), and identify the exact source that is being throttled.
