What exactly are your agents up to? See how Cisco and Splunk help you trace every decision and control your costs.

Leon is back from the BlackHat conference and it shows (or at least it SOUNDS like it). Despite a little bit of laryngitis, today he’s continuing the exploration of routing by focusing on taking multiple sources of data and using routes to send them to a particular destination.

In this episode, Leon is onsite at Fal.con but still delivers the goods on what’s new in release 4.20. That includes Updates to several Apps, the includes of App backend functions, and improved RBAC controls in Cribl Insights. For more information, check out these links.

See how backend functions extend Cribl Apps with live data retrieval, scheduled jobs, local testing, deployment validation, and logging. In this walkthrough, Giovanni Mola shows developers how to connect app data sources such as Jira and news feeds, manage schedules, preview functions locally, verify a live deployment, and inspect emitted logs in Cribl Search.

Episode 1, "Beyond the Thread: Deconstructing the Cisco Data Fabric Powered by the Splunk Platform," explores the intersection of data strategy and operational efficiency.
