Use case: Alerts and detectors use case library

Buttercup Games, a fictitious game company, recently began using their own network of server machines to host games for customers. Buttercup Games utilizes Splunk alerts and detectors to monitor host machine performance and to detect machine problems.

In the following use cases, you learn how Kai, a site reliability engineer, uses alerts and detectors in Splunk Observability Cloud to find and resolve infrastructure problems with their company’s host machines.

• Use case: Create a detector to monitor server latency

• Use case: Monitor system limits with AutoDetect

• Use case: Find active alerts to investigate a CPU issue

• Use case: Fix a detector that misfires alerts

• Use case: Set Min Delay for detectors to account for sparse data

• Use case: Set Max Delay for detectors to account for sudden changes in delay
