Hi

I need to do observability on different web applications on Windows workstations 

For example i need to mesure response time or error code of the webapp

Is it possible to collect these metrics in splunk? How? With Splunk APM? Website monitoring?

Other question : how to collect events from the Windows event viewer?

Thanks

Hi @jip31,

In-browser performance monitoring is usually done with client-side JavaScript instrumentation. The instrumentation code would be included in your web site's source code.

In Splunk Observability, this would be done with Splunk RUM. See e.g. https://docs.splunk.com/observability/en/gdi/get-data-in/rum/rum-instrumentation.html and https://docs.splunk.com/observability/en/gdi/get-data-in/rum/browser/get-browser-data-in.html.

In AppDynamics, this would be with End User Monitoring. See e.g. https://docs.appdynamics.com/appd/24.x/latest/en/end-user-monitoring/browser-monitoring/browser-real....

Splunk Universal Forwarder includes the functionality required to index Windows event logs. Out of the box, the forwarder can be configured to collect Application, Forwarded Events, Security, Setup, and System event logs. See https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Forwarder/9.3.0/Forwarder/InstallaWindowsuniversalforwarderfro....

Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Windows provides a comprehensive set of inputs, props, etc. for many Windows operating system, service, and application event logs. Start with https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/742 and https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/AddOns/released/Windows/AbouttheSplunkAdd-onforWindows.
