description Splunk APM Overview

Splunk APM is a monitoring solution that collects and analyzes application performance data from web servers, databases, and other infrastructure components to identify bottlenecks and diagnose issues impacting user experience.

help Splunk APM FAQ

How does Splunk APM trace application performance bottlenecks?

Splunk APM uses distributed tracing to track requests as they move across various microservices, databases, and web servers. This allows developers to pinpoint exactly which infrastructure component is causing latency or impacting the end-user experience.

Is Splunk APM built on OpenTelemetry?

Yes, Splunk APM is fully instrumented to support OpenTelemetry, an open-source standard for collecting observability data. This allows developers to collect metrics, traces, and logs without being locked into a single proprietary vendor's agents.

Can Splunk APM monitor serverless architectures like AWS Lambda?

Yes, Splunk APM provides specific integrations to trace serverless functions like AWS Lambda. It captures the entry and exit calls of these ephemeral functions to ensure that serverless compute workloads aren't introducing hidden latency to your application.

How does Splunk APM connect application traces to underlying infrastructure logs?

Because it is part of the broader Splunk Observability Cloud, Splunk APM allows users to pivot seamlessly from an application trace directly into related infrastructure metrics and logs. This is powered by Splunk's Log Observer, giving context to why a bottleneck is occurring.
