LOGGING
Bring logs into observability
Explore, visualize, and alert on logs alongside metrics and traces in one Splunk Observability Cloud experience.
CHALLENGE
Fragmented log workflows slow every investigation
When logs live apart from metrics and traces, engineers swivel between tools to understand system health. Separate consoles, identities, queries, dashboards, and alerts fragment context and slow response. Teams need unified access to logs without abandoning existing Splunk data or observability workflows.
SOLUTION
Choose your path to unified logs
Start with Observability Logs
Bring logs natively into Observability Cloud with integrated retention and governance.
Connect existing Splunk logs
Use Log Observer Connect with logs in Splunk Cloud Platform or Splunk Enterprise.
Act on logs in one experience
Explore, visualize, and alert on logs alongside metrics, events, and traces.
Lead with native logs from Observability Logs
Observability Logs brings logs natively into Splunk Observability Cloud for new observability deployments. Search recent logs, retain older data in the Machine Data Lake, and promote selected historical data for ad hoc investigation.
Connect the Splunk logs you already have
Existing Splunk Cloud Platform and Splunk Enterprise customers can use Log Observer Connect to analyze their logs in Observability Cloud. Add log context to metrics and traces while keeping Splunk Platform as the system of record.
Investigate logs in Log Explorer
Use point-and-click, natural language, SPL to inspect events and refine searches. Correlate logs with infrastructure, APM, RUM, Synthetic Monitoring, service, and incident context, then move directly into charts or alerts.
Build log-based charts in modern dashboards
Create log-based charts directly in Splunk Observability Cloud dashboards. Use SPL to visualize log data beside metrics, events, and traces — giving teams a unified view of system health without switching consoles.
Detect issues with log-based alerts
Create and manage search-based log alerts in Observability Cloud. Use AI-driven SPL assistance and cross-signal context to build precise, actionable alerts, reduce alert fatigue, and accelerate detection and response.
