Join us for a technical deep dive into the next generation of AI monitoring. In this session, we explore howSplunk Agent Observability (powered by the acquisition of Galileo)enables practitioners to gain unprecedented visibility into agent performance and cost. We will move beyond theory to demonstrate how to visualize token consumption across multiple dimensions and conduct a live "bake-off" to compare token efficiency between different techniques, using eval scores to validate task effectiveness.
What you will learn:

  • Granular Visibility: Mapping token consumption directly to specific agent actions and business outcomes.
  • The Efficiency Bake-Off: A comparative analysis of agent techniques using Splunk Agent Observability to isolate performance bottlenecks.
  • Eval-Driven Optimization: Using precision scoring to validate task effectiveness and justify infrastructure investment.
  • Practitioner Workflow: A deep dive into troubleshooting non-deterministic behavior in production environments.
