Agent Mode Engaged! Enchaining Agentic Operations with Splunk AI Assistant 2.0

In this session, we will introduce your new "digital teammate"—the supercharged Splunk AI Assistant. We’ll demonstrate how the new Agent Mode provides the context, reasoning, and recommendations necessary to reduce your mean time to resolution (MTTR) from hours to minutes.

Boost Productivity with SPL2: The Next-Gen Language for Splunk

Tech Talk features a live demonstration of the new SPL2 Search Mode and explores how to leverage SPL2 modules and apps to streamline your investigations. Whether you are building custom solutions or investigating security threats, learn how to turbocharge your use cases with a flexible language that supercharges our original SPL.

OpenTelemetry at the edge: Observability for IoT fleets with Bindplane and Dynatrace

By the time an IoT device shows up in an incident review, it has usually already done its damage. Not the dashboard-gap kind. These devices are load bearing. They sit in the control path of substations, haul trucks, pump stations and cold rooms, so when they go blind the blast radius gets measured in tripped relays, spoiled stock, and unplanned outages rather than in missing datapoints.

From Log Line to Merged Fix: AI SRE Agent AURA with GitHub MCP

Knowing why it broke is not the same as having it repaired. Point the agent at the repos behind the service and the change comes back as a pull request. A Govee integration crash-loops under Home Assistant because the container cannot write to a directory it does not own. That much was already established: the previous homelab video stopped at the root cause on purpose, so the next pass could improve the agent's configuration first.

Build and Launch AI Agents from Your Splunk Workflows

Introducing the Splunk Agent Launchpad! Let’s face it—your team is busy. Between managing alerts, digging through investigations, and constant context-switching, it’s hard to stay ahead of the noise. What if you could turn your existing operational knowledge into custom AI agents that do the heavy lifting for you? And the best part? No coding required. Watch this exclusive look at the Splunk Agent Launchpad. We’re showing you how to build, deploy, and manage AI agents that help you investigate, enrich, summarize, and act—all without leaving the Splunk environment you already know and trust.

Argo CD Deployment Failed: AI SRE Agent AURA Finds and Fixes It

A deployment fails validation and the sync stops. Argo CD hands the report to AURA, which finds the wrong version, fixes it, and re-runs the sync. Normally, a failed sync means a person opens the application, reads the hook logs, and works out which value is wrong. Here, the sync fail hook sends AURA a short failure report and an incident ID over the agent-to-agent protocol, then exits. It does not say how to investigate or what to change.

Set a monthly budget on every Olly API Key

FinOps spent a decade making cloud spend predictable, and teams now point the same discipline at a workload that behaves nothing like a virtual machine. In the FinOps Foundation’s State of FinOps 2026 survey, drawn from 1,192 practitioners representing more than $83 billion in annual cloud spend, 98% now manage AI spend, up from 31% two years earlier. The main driver for this was agents.
