How about having an immersive data experience on your mobile device via augmented reality? Think about being in a data center where you just need to scan the QR code/NFC tag on your stacked devices to know the critical device metrics on your mobile. This session will show you how Splunk AR can be used to visualize the dashboard data that users create on the Splunk platform. Visit this session and you will learn how to create apps, dashboards and immersively reflect the data on your mobile using Splunk AR.

As customers add more and more data to Splunk, indexer clusters with large volumes of indexers, indexes, and buckets are becoming commonplace. In Splunk labs we run intensive tests to explore the boundaries of the largest indexer clusters. This session will discuss the lifecycle of a Splunk bucket, why it is a key metric in indexer scalability, and which indicators and tunables to monitor in a very large cluster. We'll also share how we do performance testing, the latest performance results, and best practices for scaling your Splunk Enterprise cluster to 20 million unique buckets and beyond.

“There’s always a tension between one’s individual self—one’s million data points—and the statistical breakdown of your existence. It’s the awareness of this tension that I navigate each day.” I wrote this in response to the reveal that black employee representation across Splunk’s U.S. offices was only 3%. #RepresentationMatters and having a “seat at the table” are critical frameworks and tactics to improve diversity, and this panel discussion brings together a diverse cross-section of Splunkers to further explore these topics. Specifically, panel participants will use there statistical data points (e.g., 3%) as a foil to reflect on how they’ve leveraged their individual motivations to push for and create change within their particular role. We intend for the audience to leave stirred by the ideas this conversation will open up, and moved to ask themselves what they can do to create change or elevate others who’ve been underrepresented in their workplace.

Instana CEO Mirko Novakovic explores microservices applications and the performance management challenges created by their complexity. Unique microservice architectures, operational and deployment needs create a large management gap. With so many moving pieces in addition to highly complex architectures, having the raw data won’t meet the challenge. There’s just too many pieces, too many dependencies and too much data for humans (even teams) to understand. New management tools are needed that translate data into information. Otherwise, each stakeholder must fend for themselves even though the ephemeral application architecture makes it impossible to find bottlenecks. It’s like trying to get directions in a foreign city where nobody speaks your language - every question and answer gets lost in translation. Mirko examines distributed microservice applications, how their complexity creates management problems, and what APM tools should do to automatically meet those challenges and deliver high performing applications.
