Splunk’s presence at All Things Open 2024
Splunk is thrilled to be at the All Things Open conference this year! Splunk may not be the first name you think of when you think of open source, but we use and contribute to open source regularly. Most notably, our Splunk Observability Cloud product line is all OpenTelemetry-native, and Splunk is a top contributor to OpenTelemetry (OTel), with a few dozen Splunkers working full-time on making OpenTelemetry better. If you don’t know OTel, it’s the industry-standard way to get data from applications into observability systems, providing a flexible, vendor-neutral way to emit the right kind of data and to get it where it needs to go.
Splunkers are speaking at ATO this year, too – with an OpenTelemetry crash course on Monday, October 28 at 3:45 in room 302B, and a session on increasing resiliency through horizontal pod autoscaling (HPA) in Kubernetes, in a 2 for 1 also on Monday, October 28 at 1:45 in Ballroom A. In our OTel session, you’ll get a brief overview of what OTel is and why it’s important, then learn about common pitfalls when setting up the Collector and will learn about how to avoid them. In our HPA session, learn about Day 2 operations, how a new team set up HPA, and what metrics they used and lessons they’ve learned from setting up HPA.
If that all sounds good to you but you don’t know Splunk, Splunk provides observability into any application, in any language, through any deployment model from three-tier through serverless thanks to Splunk AppDynamics, Splunk Observability Cloud, and Splunk IT Service Intelligence. Our speaking sessions both feature the OpenTelemetry-native Splunk Observability Cloud product.
Of course, we have a booth presence this year – come visit us at booth 69 to see Splunk Observability Cloud live and see a demo of troubleshooting a microservice problem, or see the Splunk AI Assistant for Observability in action. You can of course ask us anything about OpenTelemetry or your burning observability questions in general. We’re also happy to hand out some Splunk swag.
We hope to see you at All Things Open and want to thank the Open Source universe for your support, pull requests, suggestions and just general use of OpenTelemetry. See you there!
