Splunk Named An Application Performance Management (APM) Innovator
Recently, Gartner published a report on APM Innovators, to recognize vendors that are driving an evolution in Application Performance Management. Splunk is included in this report, even though it is not your traditional Systems or Application Monitoring tool – primarily driven by our fantastic customers who have deployed Splunk extensively to monitor their complex application environments.
This recognition is an important milestone for APM overall and for Splunk. In the past, Gartner has categorized it into 5 sub-segments – End User Experience Monitoring, Runtime Application Discovery, Modeling and Display, User-defined transaction profiling, Application deep-dive component monitoring and Analytics. However, as customers need increasingly to understand end-user experience from end to end in complex application environments, their requirements…

Developer Analytics made easy
Last week, Splunk speaker Peter Zadrozny, former CTO at BEA Systems Europe and author of many Java based books, presented a session on building visibility into application environments to an audience of over 120 attendees at JavaOne in San Francisco. Application logs have been traditionally underestimated in their usefulness, primarily because traditional tools to handle them are limited by relational schemas and clunky reporting interfaces. A machine data engine like Splunk, which makes no presumptions about formats and schemas during data collection, but helps you extract intelligence from your operational data while reporting, presents a significant opportunity to get easy analytics about your application. With such a powerful engine at your disposal, developers can now simply build in analytics breadcrumbs into…
