Monitoring remote call

[hitzspb]

Hello

Is it possible to monitor remote API calls out of the box with Splunk Observability cloud. 

My application is running on an IIS server and is .NET. I have 3 critical API calls

1. Calling a external third party service (that i cannot get splunk on for that reason=

2. Is calling a Azure Function that is not connected to splunk

3. Is calling another ASP Core application that is currently NOT monitored by splunk. 

Can I when I call from my main application those 3 services get a overview that they are being called out of the box?

Hi,

These sound like APM (Application Performance Monitoring) use cases. If you can instrument the application that is making calls out to these 3 different APIs, then your application will show up as an instrumented service on the APM service map, and the 3 different APIs will show up as “inferred services”. Inferred services won’t have as much detail as an instrumented service, but you will see response times, error codes, etc that are returned when your instrumented application makes calls to them. So, yes, out-of-the-box, you will see the overview of how your application is calling these 3 other services.
