Overview

Overview Course Curriculum Training Schedule Exam & Certification FAQs

This 2-day (virtual days) course is targeted towards SREs, ITOps, and DevOps Engineers who are responsible for implementing and maintaining an observability solution for infrastructure and application monitoring. In this advanced technical course, you will learn to use SignalFlow – the analytics language used in Splunk Observability Cloud. SignalFlow is a programming language used to define Charts, Navigators and Detectors, and for more complicated data manipulation.

Use SignalFlow to develop visualizations and detectors that are more specific and reusable than what is possible using the user interface alone. You will create functions to analyze data and to incorporate elements from the Observability Cloud code library. The content covered in this course is essential to managing Observability Cloud resources as code using the REST API, Terraform or another contentas-code solution.
