WORKSHOP

Observability for Java: Automatic Discovery and Instrumentation in Kubernetes

Monitoring microservices running on Kubernetes can be complex and time-consuming, especially when it requires manual instrumentation or code changes. Join us for an interactive workshop where you’ll discover how Splunk Observability Cloud and OpenTelemetry can drastically simplify monitoring for your Java-based microservices.

Through hands-on exercises using a sample microservices application, you’ll learn how to deploy the Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector for automatic discovery and configuration without touching your application code. We’ll walk you through enabling auto-instrumentation via Kubernetes annotations and show you how to unlock full-stack observability in minutes.

In this workshop, attendees will learn:

• How to deploy the Splunk OpenTelemetry Collector for Kubernetes
• How to enable auto-instrumentation using Kubernetes annotations
• How to use Splunk APM to explore Service Maps and analyze traces for service health monitoring
• How to leverage Always-On Profiling® for code-level insights and pinpoint slow Database Query Performance
• How to correlate application logs with traces using Splunk Log Observer Connect
• How to connect frontend user sessions to backend performance using Real User Monitoring (RUM)
