Course Overview

The Using Splunk Application Performance Monitoring course by Splunk is designed for DevOps engineers, site reliability engineers (SREs), and developers who need to monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize microservices-based applications. This 4.5-hour virtual instructor-led training prepares learners for the Splunk Certified Observability Practitioner certification, a credential recognized for validating expertise in modern observability practices. With over 90% of Fortune 100 companies using Splunk for operational intelligence, demand for professionals skilled in Splunk APM continues to grow. Participants will gain foundational knowledge in distributed tracing, service monitoring, and performance analysis, enabling them to identify bottlenecks and resolve issues in complex cloud-native environments.

Students engage with core components of the Splunk Observability Suite, including Splunk APM, Metrics, Traces, Logs, and Detectors, using the Splunk Observability Cloud platform. Through hands-on labs, learners configure custom dashboards, analyze trace data, and create detectors to alert on APM metrics such as latency and error rates. The lab environment is delivered via Splunk’s cloud-based training infrastructure, allowing real-time interaction with simulated microservices applications. One key exercise involves troubleshooting a performance degradation scenario in a distributed e-commerce application, where students use trace spotlight views and service flow maps to isolate faulty services and analyze span-level bottlenecks, applying real-world diagnostic workflows used by enterprise teams.

This course directly supports preparation for the Splunk Certified Observability Practitioner exam, a credential increasingly sought after in cloud and DevOps roles, with certified professionals seeing average salary increases of up to 20%. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with official Splunk courseware, Guaranteed-to-Run batches, and optional 1-on-1 training to ensure mastery. Upon completion, learners are equipped to drive faster mean time to resolution (MTTR), improve application reliability, and advance into senior observability or platform engineering roles within high-performance IT organizations.
