About the Splunk Metrics Workspace

The Splunk Metrics Workspace provides a user interface that enables you to monitor and analyze metrics and other time series without using SPL. Select data sources to create interactive charts in the workspace. Then, apply filters and aggregations to gain insight into your system's metrics and performance. The Splunk Metrics Workspace helps you to quickly identify and respond to any issues or anomalies in your data.
