Splunk has been named a Leader in the 2024 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Observability Platforms for the second year in a row in this category.

Log Observer Connect for AppDynamics enables in-context navigation between AppDynamics and Splunk. This unified observability troubleshooting experience promises to streamline problem identification, but also aligns cross-functional teams by providing shared insights into application performance issues across tools.

Splunker Greg Leffler walks us through OTelBin, a free and open-source tool created by the OpenTelemetry community.

Splunk Synthetic Monitoring helps test your most important user workflows so that you can find and fix issues before real users are impacted.

The path to digitalisation, however rewarding the goal, has proven to be a difficult one for many enterprises. One thing that is certain, however, is that visibility into application performance is vital not only to an effective technology strategy but to business success. The use case study to follow outlines a series of events experienced by many companies and sets down some guideposts to help you ensure that you will know the kind of digital service your customers are getting and will allow you to respond rapidly to outages and brownouts and, as a result, minimise the impact on revenue and brand.

With the launch of a built-in Service Level Objective (SLO) management experience in Splunk Observability Cloud, users get an intuitive experience for SLO creation with insight into the service's current performance.

Ending up with or having too many tools for monitoring is an age-old problem in the monitoring space. It has been around for decades. In fact I would go a step further and argue that it is much worse within the platforms of today then it was in days gone by. There is a direct correlation between the explosion of new, exciting and innovative technologies and services in modern platform development of today and the sheer volume of tooling you can easily end up with to monitor it. In this blog I explore what has driven the expansion of tools, how having too many is creating fundamental challenges in how these platforms are being managed, the negative impact that this has on innovation and, most importantly, what the solution is.
