November, the season of post-conf, is upon us. Hopefully all you Splunk admins and sc_admins are craving the release of a ton of new.conf21 Splunk features. Well, good news, because Connected Experiences is here to help you get started with everything Splunk Mobile, Augmented Reality, TV and iPad with this one handy guide. Let’s get started!
While it’s cooling down here in California as Fall arrives, we have some really hot and exciting updates from.conf21, including the announcement of Splunk Cloud Developer Edition, the new Splunkbase user experience, detailed guidelines to help you deliver cloud-ready apps for Splunk Cloud Platform, AppInspect updates with new checks, a helpful blog about storing app secrets, updated docs for Modular Inputs and External Lookups, a summary of SDK updates, and more.
Sometimes "getting data in” (or GDI) can be just as complicated as managing the data itself. From the early days of Splunk, getting data in has been a critical aspect of delivering the right data for visibility, investigation, and action. As data locality proliferates, formats evolve, and volumes grow, customers need easy access to their data, in the right place, in the right shape, and at the right time.
When it comes to gaining control over complex distributed systems, there are many indicators of performance that we must understand. One of the secrets to understanding complicated systems is the use of additional cardinality within our metrics, which provides further information about our distributed systems’ overall health and performance. Developers rely on the telemetry captured from these distributed workloads to determine what really went wrong and place it in context.
Are you ready to unlock value from your Splunk data, anywhere at any time? You might be itching to do this after seeing the amazing announcements made by the Splunk Connected Experiences team at.conf21. For those that might have missed it — or those that are hoping to learn more — we’ve rounded up the highlights below. Across each of the products, the takeaway is clear: we’re continuing to make it easier than ever to access your Splunk data in new and innovative ways.
This year at.conf21, we announced exciting new features in Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring, our real-time streaming metrics-based monitoring platform. Our innovations help SRE and cloud operations teams detect and resolve performance issues even more quickly and efficiently while maintaining enterprise-grade security and compliance posture. In this roundup blog, we cover, in detail, all the product features we unveiled at.conf21.
I am honored to be able to talk about Splunk’s investment and commitment to the OpenTelemetry project. I would like to take this opportunity to talk about the latest in the OpenTelemetry community, as well as the instrumentation and data collection distributions available from Splunk. Be sure to read through the whole post, as you will find some roadmap information too!
