Splunk Observability Cloud () is a monitoring and analytics platform that allows customers to evaluate, visualize, automate, and alert on metrics.
Integrating Splunk Observability Cloud with Cortex allows you to:
in Cortex
Create that include rules related to your Splunk Observability Cloud SLOs
Before getting started:
Create an in Splunk.
In Cortex, navigate to the :
In Cortex, click your avatar in the lower left corner, then click Settings.
Under "Integrations," click Splunk Observability.
Click Add configuration.
Configure the integration form:
Realm: Enter your Splunk Observability realm.
You can find it in the URL for your instance, e.g., https://app.{REALM}.signalfx.com/#/metrics
.
Access token: Enter the access token you generated in Splunk.
Click Save.
After saving your configuration, you are redirected to the Splunk Observability integration settings page in Cortex. In the upper right corner of the page, click Test configuration to ensure Splunk Observability was configured properly.
You can pull in data about SLOs and manage them in Cortex by defining relevant SLIs through queries, along with a threshold and a comparator. Cortex will pull data from Splunk Observability Cloud and roll up the query with a specified rollup
function.

Monitoring
Click Monitoring > Data overview in the entity's sidebar to see the query, target, and current value for each SLO from any integrations you're pulling SLOs from. Each SLO also includes the period of time the SLO is being calculated for. For example, if the time listed is "7 days ago," then the SLO is looking at the time range starting 7 days ago to now.
Click Monitoring > Splunk Observability to view a graph of SLO performance over time.
With the Splunk Observability Cloud integration, you can create Scorecard rules and write CQL queries based on Splunk Observability Cloud SLOs.

SLOs can be defined in the .
for your metric: Use sf_metric
to filter by the given metric and add additional dimensions to narrow the searchQueries resulting in multiple datasets will be rolled up according to rollup

When an SLO is defined in an entity's descriptor, SLO information appears in the Monitoring block on an overview.
