- Workshop Overview
- Scenarios
Learn how to build observability solutions with Splunk
- Optimize Cloud Monitoring
This scenario is for ITOps teams managing a hybrid infrastructure that need to troubleshoot cloud-native performance issues, by correlating real-time metrics with logs to troubleshoot faster, improve MTTD/MTTR, and optimize costs.
- Understand Impact of Changes
This scenario helps SREs identify the impact of planned and unplanned changes to their environment so that they can address issues quickly to ensure the performance of key customer transactions.
- Debug Problems in Microservices
This scenario helps software developers to make debugging problems in microservices easier, faster, and more cost-effective for platform engineering teams rolling out standardized tooling.
- Optimize End User Experiences
Use Splunk Real User Monitoring (RUM) and Synthetics to get insight into end user experience, and proactively test scenarios to improve that experience.
- Self-Service Observability
This scenario helps platform engineering (or central tools) teams enable engineers with self-service observability tooling at scale, so developers and SREs can spend less time managing their toolchain and more time building and delivering cool software.
