Splunk is previewing the OpenTelemetry Collector as a technical add-on (TA), so Splunk Platform customers can more easily adopt Splunk Observability Cloud and deploy the Collector alongside their existing forwarders to capture metrics and traces.
This new feature eliminates the headaches of deploying and managing two agents by providing customers a unified view of their infrastructure and services. The introduction of the Collector is a milestone in Splunk’s commitment to the OpenTelemetry project and the open-source community by helping customers transmit their data with less complexity and greater flexibility.
With Splunk’s new Unified Identity, ITOps practitioners and engineers can now seamlessly and immediately access Splunk Cloud Platform and Splunk Observability Cloud data with one user identity. As a result, customers can enjoy an improved login experience and instantly access log data from Splunk Cloud Platform data for faster troubleshooting. The integration provides ITOps practitioners and engineers a common set of visualizations for more agile cross-team alignment to drive rapid detection and response.
In addition, the latest advancements in Splunk Cloud Platform and Splunk Enterprise 9.1 enable SecOps, ITOps and engineering teams to visualize data flows across their entire tech stack to foster deeper collaboration, so organizations can scale their operations to respond rapidly and minimize disruptions.
Platform enhancements include:
- Ingest Actions now expands capabilities for routing data to multiple, distinct Amazon S3 buckets, enabling greater granularity in data management.
- The new Federated Search for Amazon S3 preview offers a unified search experience of data at rest in Amazon S3 buckets - without having to ingest that data to Splunk - and across Splunk instances and third party data lakes through its integration with Ingest Actions and Edge Processor for better data movement. In turn, customers avoid latency and unnecessary charges.
- Edge Processor featuring SPL2 now enables data ingestion and export to Splunk using HTTP Event Collector (HEC), making it easier to manage data. In addition, to complement data sovereignty and compliance needs, users can set default destinations per Edge Processor for more flexibility in routing.
