In this video I’m going to introduce you to Splunk Synthetic Monitoring in Splunk Observability Cloud. I’ll explain what synthetic monitoring is and then demonstrate a simple example by creating a browser test for a sample e-commerce site. I’ll also demonstrate how you can link issues found through synthetic monitoring with backend code due to its integration with Splunk APM.

Log Observer Connect will allow you to connect to and view/query logs from your Splunk Enterprise or Splunk Cloud instance from within Splunk Observability Cloud. In this video, I will introduce you to Log Observer Connect in Splunk Observability Cloud and walk you through a demonstration of how it works. You’ll learn how to view and query logs, as well as save queries for later use. I’ll also walk you through a practical example of when you might use Log Observer Connect through the use of Related Logs.

Log Observer Connect will allow you to connect to and view/query logs from your Splunk Enterprise or Splunk Cloud instance from within Splunk Observability Cloud. In this video, I will briefly explain what Log Observer Connect is and then show you how to connect your Splunk Observability Cloud organization to a Splunk Enterprise instance through Log Observer Connect.

A big part of the Splunk experience is our open, collaborative mindset! Check out how we keep that alive with a flexible, distributed work model. #SplunkLife.

In this video, I’m going to introduce you to Horizontal Pod Autoscaling in Kubernetes and monitoring autoscaling events in Splunk Observability Cloud. I’ll first walk through our simple application deployment definition. We will analyze the metrics of that application in Splunk Observability cloud, identifying that the application is under resource pressure. I’ll then discuss the scaling options at our disposal, and we will walk through an implementation of a Horizontal Pod Autoscaler that will automatically scale our pods according to the load they are receiving.

See how we help you thrive in the age of AI and build unprecedented digital resilience.

In this video, I’ll provide an overview of the OpenTelemetry Collector’s configuration file (config.yaml) with examples from the Splunk distribution. I will briefly explain the components of the Splunk OTel Collector, and walk you through a sample generic configuration of the OTel Collector. We’ll then use the Splunk Observability Cloud interface to construct the commands needed to install the Splunk OTel Collector on a specific host. This installation will copy a default Splunk OTel Collector configuration onto the host, and we’ll review the Splunk specific components of this configuration.
