Splunk’s Observability Portfolio, Now Supercharged by Splunk AppDynamics, Provides Richer Context into the Business Impact of Every Performance Problem INDIA – November 18, 2024 – Splunk , the cybersecurity and observability leader, today announced innovations across its expanded observability portfolio to empower organisations to build a leading observability practice. These product advancements provide ITOps and engineering teams with more options to unify visibility across their entire IT environment to drive faster detection and investigation, harness control over data and costs and improve their digital resilience Many ITOps and engineering teams struggle with scattered visibility across their tech stack and lack insights into the performance issues impacting their business. Observability with the right business context is key to overcoming this.
Now with these observability innovations, Splunk customers have access to smarter insights and automation for guided troubleshooting, deeper visibility into Kubernetes environments and a holistic user experience. Through Splunk’s observability portfolio, organisations have richer insights to monitor critical issues, such as disrupted user transactions and supply chain outages, and take quick and accurate corrective actions to enhance digital resilience. “To help overcome scattered visibility and blind spots of today’s hybrid and modern environments, injecting the right business and user context is key,” said Patrick Lin, SVP and GM of Observability at Splunk, a Cisco Company.
“Splunk excels at this — our observability portfolio, supercharged by AppDynamics, provides customers essential business context to see how a problem originated and what, or who, is being impacted. We also provide breadth of coverage so customers can standardise their observability practice on one solution.” Since the launch of an integrated full-stack observability experience at Cisco Live Las Vegas , Cisco AppDynamics is now part of the Splunk Observability portfolio and is known as Splunk AppDynamics.
Splunk’s observability portfolio, supercharged by Splunk AppDynamics, provides organisations with deeper business context, and broader coverage across both three-tier and microservices environments, for unified visibility across any environment and any stack.

Automation and workflow improvements mitigate troubleshooting toil Splunk continues to innovate to reduce toil in the problem identification and resolution process so users can get to value faster and reduce their mean time to detect (MTTD) and mean time to resolve (MTTR): Updates to Tag Spotlight capability provide a more intuitive understanding of common problems across applications and end-user experience, facilitating faster troubleshooting and improving incident resolution.
Infrastructure Monitoring with Kubernetes Proactive Troubleshooting: This new feature provides ITOps and engineering teams with improved drill-down experiences, simplified navigation and new list views for the Kubernetes navigator, to speed up MTTR and maintain optimal performance across their Kubernetes environments. “Cisco and Splunk have rationalised the observability portfolio. Customers can strengthen their digital resilience with a unified experience that gives them visibility and business insights across any environment,” said Stephen Elliot, Group Vice President and Analyst, IDC.
“As a global company, it’s essential to act and respond to incidents quicker and reduce the occurrence of downtime. Through observability, we can do this by achieving richer visibility into our network, infrastructure and critical applications at every touchpoint,” said Ed Hubbard, Director of Site Reliability and Monitoring at Travelport.
