What's Chaos Monkey? Its Role in Modern Testing

Chaos Monkey is an open-source tool. Its primary use is to check system reliability against random instance failures. Chaos Monkey follows the testing concept of chaos engineering, which prepares networked systems for resilience against random and unpredictable chaotic conditions. Let’s take a deeper look.

Put Your Issue Detection and Response on Fast-Forward With GenAI

Most engineers will tell you this: Troubleshooting today feels like trying to find your way out of a wild jungle, in the middle of a storm, at night, while a countdown clock is running. In other words, it’s ambiguous, nerve-racking, and plain difficult. But should this be the norm?

Enhance Your AIOps Strategy by Utilizing Data Classification

Are you looking for a way to increase your AIOps signal to noise ratio and get more value from your data? In this article we will explore how one can utilize OpenTelemetry’s collectors, processors and data models to add or enhance classification attributes. These attributes can help you use your AIOps tools more efficiently and derive more value from your current data.

Automatic Discovery and Instrumentation of PostgreSQL with Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector

In this video I’ll walk through the steps to instrument a PostgreSQL database using the Automatic discovery and configuration feature of the Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector. We’ll use an install script to install and run the Collector with discovery mode on a Linux machine where the database is running. I’ll then show you how to properly configure the PostgreSQL receiver properties so that the Collector is able to connect and authenticate to the database. Once the Collector is successfully configured, I’ll show you how to view those metrics in Splunk Observability Cloud.

Set up browser tests in Splunk Synthetic Monitoring using the Chrome DevTools Recorder

In this video I’ll introduce you to the Chrome DevTools Recorder and how you can use it with Splunk Observability Cloud’s Synthetic Monitoring feature. I’ll explain what the Recorder is and then demonstrate how you can create a recording. We’ll then export the recording and upload it as a new browser test in Splunk’s Synthetic Monitoring feature. After uploading, I’ll walk through the test results and explain when it makes sense to use the Recorder for your Synthetic Monitoring tests.
