Access your data with Federated Analytics for Amazon Security Lake. Insights from Splunk, AWS, and A

Federated Analytics gives organizations the full power of Splunk extended to data stored in Amazon Security Lake. Trusted partners like Accenture are helping bring these new capabilities to life at organizations around the world.

Kubernetes Monitoring and Alerting Made Easy with Splunk Observability Cloud and OpenTelemetry

In this video, I'll show you how to quickly setup monitoring and alerting for your Kubernetes clusters using Splunk Observability Cloud. We’ll start by deploying the Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector using Helm, and then use the Kubernetes Navigator inside Splunk Observability Cloud to view the health of our cluster and the applications it’s hosting. I’ll demonstrate AutoDetect detectors and alerts by intentionally triggering an issue in the cluster and walk through the alerting process. We’ll review the alerts in Splunk Observability Cloud and then resolve the issue in the cluster.

Create a Splunk pipeline to filter, mask, and route logs - without SPL2

In this video, we will take a look at how you can create a Splunk Data Management pipeline to filter, mask and route your logs with using any SPL2 code. For this demo we have used Ingest Processor to build our pipeline but the same concept can be used for Edge Processor as well.

KubeCon 2024 | Interviews with Observability Experts | Observability Insights with Josh Lee

Join me at KubeCon 2024 as I sit down with Josh Lee, Developer Advocate at Altinity, to discuss the latest trends, challenges, and insights in observability. In this interview, we cover key topics such as OpenTelemetry adoption (including the Open Agent Management Protocol), data sovereignty, standardization through semantic conventions, and the need to unify observability tooling across organizations.

How to Use Static Thresholds for Effective Alerts in Splunk Observability Cloud

In this video, we explore the concept of static thresholds, which are a foundational tool in your observability alerting solution. You’ll learn: Additionally, we will demonstrate static thresholds in Splunk Observability Cloud. We’ll configure a static threshold for AWS EC2 memory utilization. We’ll also look at additional threshold settings like trigger sensitivity and duration. By the end of this video, you'll have the knowledge to effectively incorporate static thresholds into your observability strategy.

Observability Insights From KubeCon 2024 - Summary

In this video, I’m breaking down the biggest themes and key takeaways from KubeCon 2024’s observability sessions. From OpenTelemetry’s growing role as the standard for telemetry data to how AI and continuous profiling are shaping the future of proactive, scalable and cost-effective observability. If you missed KubeCon 2024 or want to stay on top of observability trends, this recap will get you up to speed in just a few minutes.

APAC in 2025: A Harder Look at AI, Data and Cybersecurity Standards

This year has been transformative for technology, reshaping the business landscape with groundbreaking advancements and unprecedented challenges. Generative AI continues to unlock new possibilities, while cybersecurity threats have escalated to new heights. Across APAC — a fast-emerging global innovation hub — businesses have grappled with the twin forces of regulatory evolution and technological breakthroughs.

Learn SPL Command Types: Efficient Search Execution Order and How to Investigate Them

When performing searches, Splunk uses its own language, SPL (Search Processing Language). SPL commands can be categorized into several types depending on the processing they perform. Especially in a distributed environment where the Splunk system is made up of multiple servers, if you do not understand which components perform heavy processing depending on the SPL type, you may create inefficient searches.
