Upcoming User Group Events! 👏

Check out these user group events happening in May. Most meetings are hybrid or virtual, but we've got a flurry of in-person meetups going on now as well.

May Upcoming User Group Events:

  • Melbourne, Australia User Group 5/26 - (In-person) [RSVPWe are back - and in person! Come and join us from 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm at the Splunk Melbourne Office. That's right, "in-person"! Along with beer, pizza, and mingling with fellow Splunkers, we have the following presentations lined up: Observability Cloud - O11y 101-y & Using Enterprise Security to monitor IOT.
  • Cleveland User Group 5/26 - (In-person) [RSVPCLE Splunk UG - Splunk Configuration Management! Join us for our May meetup where Matt Uebel will be giving a sneak peek at his Splunk Conference talk on using Git, GitHub, and GitHub actions to automate the validation and deployment of your Splunk configuration!
  • Fort Worth User Group 5/26 - (Virtual) [RSVPMethods for Building a Large ITSI Environment: Utilizing the CMDB. In this session, we will demonstrate the importance and power of an accurate CMDB when it comes to building a large ITSI environment. When the use case of the customer is Enterprise-level monitoring, and especially when the business has acquired other companies and therefore inherited unknown naming convention of servers and other assets, one could perhaps consider the CMDB to be equivalent to Asset and Identities in Enterprise Security. The importance of an accurate CMDB will be apparent in each of the topics from the following list: Service/entity mapping, “Automatic” service build via search, Enterprise Scale Alerting Framework.

Search the full list of User Groups to find meetups in all locations. As we finally shift into more in-person meetups and/or hybrid, there are still plenty of virtual opportunities for you to join!

Upcoming Tech Talk 🛠

On May 26 at 11 am PT / 2 pm ET, Wiley Vasquez, Head of Customer Success, Splunk Observability presents the Faster Strategic Value with Splunk Observability Use Case Explorer Tech Talk.

AIOps and Observability have been a rapidly evolving area in the past few years. Many organizations have been implementing solutions in an opportunistic fashion, largely without a comprehensive end-to-end strategy. The New Splunk Observability Use Case Explorer helps you to take a more strategic approach, while also incorporating very prescriptive steps to gain value quickly as you progress. Join us as we introduce you to a new way to gain Observability capabilities and increase the value of your Splunk solutions! (Duration: 30 minutes).
