Streamlining Log Analytics with AppDynamics and Splunk
AppDynamics Log Observer Connect offers a seamless integration between Splunk log analytics and AppDynamics observability, providing a comprehensive solution for identifying and troubleshooting application issues. By leveraging the power of Splunk log analytics and AppDynamics observability, users can instantly correlate logs with application metrics and events directly within AppDynamics. The prepopulated Splunk Processing Language (SPL) queries based on time and context streamline log filtering, allowing for efficient troubleshooting workflows. Additionally, the 'View logs in Splunk' links only display relevant logs, saving valuable time for users.
Consolidating Observability with AppDynamics + Splunk
Log Observer Connect for AppDynamics combines the strengths of AppDynamics' APM capabilities with Splunk's log analytics expertise, offering users a holistic view of their applications. AppDynamics agents enrich Splunk logs with essential metadata, facilitating faster and more targeted searches. With Splunk Universal Forwarder importing enhanced application logs into Splunk, there is no data duplication, as AppDynamics stores metrics, events, and snapshots, while Splunk stores the logs. This consolidation of observability tools not only enhances efficiency but also reduces costs by eliminating log replication and enabling teams to analyze logs in one centralized location.
Enhancing Log Enrichment and Deep Linking
AppDynamics Log Observer Connect accelerates dynamic and custom search by enhancing Splunk logs with metadata such as Application, Tier, Node, Business Transaction, and Transaction Snapshot. The deep linking feature allows users to visualize metrics, events, and snapshots in AppDynamics and seamlessly transition to relevant logs in Splunk Search and Reporting for advanced log analysis. Prepopulated Splunk Processing Language (SPL) queries simplify the process of finding relevant logs based on various parameters, further optimizing troubleshooting efforts.
Improving Security and User Experience
The integration of Single Sign-on (SSO) capabilities in AppDynamics Log Observer Connect enhances security by allowing users to move seamlessly between AppDynamics and Splunk with a single login. By integrating with identity providers and implementing additional security measures like multifactor authentication (MFA), the platform ensures a secure access environment. Moreover, the reduced password fatigue from fewer remembered passwords enhances user experience, making the log analysis process more efficient.
Why Choose Log Observer Connect for AppDynamics
