Is your team spending too much time investigating common business and engineering questions due to a lack of transparency into your rapidly growing distributed system? Is logging for your microservices a haphazard mess? Is isolating a single event workflow throughout the pipeline just TOO MUCH WORK? Learn how we utilized Splunk to simplify troubleshooting distributed systems at Bloomberg. In this session, we will: Walk through some custom components that provide transparency into complex distributed microservices; show how to utilize them to find and isolate a single event workflow; explain how to write highly-optimized Splunk SPL queries to answer various business workflow questions; and demonstrate how to present the results using advanced visualizations.
