View our Tech Talk: DevOps Edition, From Problem Detection to Resolution in Minutes with Splunk’s Observability Suite 

Have you spent hours looking through metric, trace, and log data on disjointed monitoring tools? Did you waste time firefighting to identify and solve issues, leading to blind spots, long outages and siloed communication? To help address these monitoring challenges we created Splunk’s Observability Suite, which makes it easy to go from problem detection to resolution in minutes. 

This Tech Talk will show you how one seamless workflow can be used during the whole life cycle of issues for monitoring, troubleshooting, investigation and resolution. Whether you’re a frontend developer who needs to know what end customers are experiencing, a backend developer building the most performant APIs and services or an SRE who’s frequently on call, Splunk’s Observability Suite helps you get the context-rich insight you need to collaborate with the people who can quickly resolve outages. 

Tune in to learn:

• How to easily troubleshoot an issue with Splunk Observability Suite
• Other important Observability use cases to help improve your monitoring
• How to leverage two new products, Splunk RUM and Splunk Log Observer in your workflow

Here are some questions from the live webinar.

Q: When will this be available on prem?

A: Unfortunately, Splunk Observability Cloud is not planned to be on-prem. It's easy to get started with as a SaaS solution. However, we do support monitoring many environments, including those on prem.

Q: The term TRACING was used throughout the presentation. Is this packet tracing or something else?

A: Tracing, in this context, is monitoring traces from distributed applications. A trace is a collection of actions that make up a complete transaction. Traces are collected by instrumenting your application. See here (https://docs.splunk.com/Observability/apm/apm.html#nav-Set-up-Splunk-APM), under “Step 2. Instrument your applications”, for information on how that is done in Splunk APM, and reach out to Splunk Sales if this is a capability you want to look into for your organization.
