Congratulations

You have successfully used Splunk Observability Cloud to understand why you experienced a poor user experience whilst shopping at the Online Boutique. You used RUM, APM and logs to understand what happened in your service landscape and subsequently, found the underlying cause, all based on the 3 pillars of Observability, metrics, traces and logs.

You also learned how to use Splunk’s intelligent tagging and analysis with Tag Spotlight to detect patterns in your applications’ behavior and to use the full stack correlation power of Related Content to quickly move between the different components whilst keeping in context of the issue.

In the next part of the workshop, we will move from problem-finding mode into mitigation, prevention and process improvement mode.
