Distributed Tracing With Splunk Observability APM Integration
The integration of distributed tracing with Splunk Observability APM brings Splunk O11y Cloud’s APM data into ThousandEyes Views.
Innovation Overview
The Distributed Tracing With Splunk Observability APM Integration merges ThousandEyes synthetic test data with APM trace data. This combined view helps IT operations teams quickly determine whether errors or latency are the result of a network issue or application issue.
Feature Highlights
Distributed Tracing: Enable OpenTelemetry and B3 trace headers in ThousandEyes HTTP server and API tests to automatically send unique trace headers to identify synthetic test data.
Splunk Observability APM Integration: Integrations support for Splunk Observability APM enables the collection of full end-to-end data for your supported synthetic tests.
Service Map Views: Enhance ThousandEyes Views with a visualization of the APM Service Map, highlighting latency or errors, and providing direct links to the related traces in Splunk Observability Cloud APM for further details.
Bi-directional Integration: In-context deep links that point back to ThousandEyes are included in Splunk traces, along with indexed attributes that make it easier to search for ThousandEyes synthetic test data using distributed tracing.
Customer Benefits
End-to-end Visibility: See deeper into the application without leaving ThousandEyes and quickly identify which service is causing the failure or performance degradation.
Cross-linked Data: Easily drill down from ThousandEyes to view details in Splunk O11y Cloud APM or navigate from a Splunk trace to a specific ThousandEyes synthetic test.
Accelerated Root Cause Analysis: Provides in-context access to detailed trace data across the Cisco portfolio, enabling faster root cause analysis and improved digital resilience.
