Video Summary
This video provides an overview of Splunk Application Performance Monitoring (APM), part of the Splunk Observability Suite. APM offers distributed tracing to help pinpoint issues within microservices, along with dynamic service mapping that visually outlines service interactions, dependencies, and performance for DevOps teams. A key feature, tag spotlight, allows for quick correlation of events across the system, offering insights into trace behaviours for effective troubleshooting.
In the demo, the APM interface reveals an overview of error rates, latency, and service requests. By accessing the service map, users can quickly identify the root causes of issues, such as a highlighted problem in the payment service. APM further simplifies troubleshooting by connecting directly to relevant logs, presenting them in context without requiring complex queries. The example in the video showcases how to pinpoint an invalid API token as the cause of a payment error, demonstrating APM's capability to accelerate problem identification and resolution.
