Monitoring and gaining additional insights about usage of your Splunk Cloud Platform deployment is essential for effective management as a Splunk admin. Your Splunk Cloud comes with the Cloud Monitoring Console (CMC) app, which displays relevant information about the status of your Splunk Cloud environment using pre-built dashboards.

There are multiple reasons why Java and the Java Virtual Machine-based languages are very popular among developers. A rich ecosystem with lots of open-source frameworks that can be easily incorporated and used is only one of them.

These numbers enable both users and health professionals to identify any results, existing or potential risks, without delay.

SaaS (software as a service) is the common model for many businesses today. Even longstanding behemoths such as Cisco and Microsoft have been strategically shifting their software products to SaaS and recurring revenue models (just think Office365 shift from licensed Office). These SaaS businesses need agility to move fast and remain competitive. This means agility in the IT stack, but also agility in the business models to support bottom-up GTM and product-led growth (PLG).

Log archiving is the process of storing all kinds of logs (application, system, or monitoring) from across a multitude of systems in a long-term storage solution like S3. Securely collecting and keeping logs is crucial for many businesses, and they have to do it effectively and with minimal supervision.
