Many Fortune 500 companies use Pivotal Cloud Foundry to push its high-quality code into production faster. While this helps companies enforce enterprise logging and application development standards, the traditional monitoring tools used to monitor development environments become the bottleneck because they are not architected to handle a firehose-nozzle connection. Learn how to use the new Splunk ITSI module for PCF, along with the new version of Splunk Firehose Nozzle for PCF to gain operational insight into PCF platform and increase developer satisfaction.

If you’re not investing in new technology, you are going to be left behind! One of the key challenges within any state government agency is ensuring system and application performance, SLA enforcement, secure operations, and adhering to strict federal and state compliance mandates, all while operating with limited budgets and staff. With help from Splunk, Health and Human Services (HHS) agencies manage systems that issue public benefits to citizens, maintain child welfare, enforce child support, and monitor public health. Come to this session to learn how to leverage Splunk to help you understand the "complete picture" of your systems and business processes to help your team move toward proactive management and increase customer satisfaction within your governmental applications. Create something useful from millions and billons of lines of log data to improve your application!

Are you drowning in a sea of data that expands daily? Overwhelmed by 1000s of events and alarms? Tasked with tracking a dynamic, ever-morphing infrastructure? Expected to resolve requests, incidents, and performance issues in seconds, not days… without adding any more headcount to your team? You’re not alone.Enter Automation, AIOps, and machine learning (ML). It’s finally IT’s turn to harness these powerful technologies to improve operational efficiency, reduce MTTR, eliminate alarm noise, streamline service requests, increase performance without lifting a finger, and tame the beast of IT complexity. Join our session as we explore practical applications for these technologies today and in the future to transform the way you approach IT operations. Get real world examples from other IT professionals and see how you can maximize your investments in Splunk, ITSM, monitoring tools, and more by bringing AI, ML, and automation to the mix.​

We now live in a Cloud Native world where we build and deploy software very differently from the previous generation. Large, centralized systems are being decoupled and distributed to address scalability needs and to allow companies to deliver value faster. Compared to monolithic applications, microservice architectures introduce complexity in network communication, feature much shorter life cycles, and require resiliency in dynamic environments. As companies began to build or migrate to microservice architectures they often run into operational complexity and struggle to efficiently monitor their environments. These challenges have highlighted the need to observe systems differently and lead to the rise of Observability. In this session, we will discuss OpenTelemetry and how it provides visibility into both distributed traces and metrics. We will walk through the architecture including client libraries and collection as well as cover key concepts including annotations, sampling policies and more. Live demos and coding examples will be presented through the talk. By the end of the session, you will know what OpenTelemetry is, why it is important, how you can get started and how you can get involved.
