Instrument Java applications for Splunk Observability Cloud 🔗

The Splunk Distribution of OpenTelemetry Java provides a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) agent that automatically adds APM instrumentation to your Java application or service. The instrumentation captures distributed traces and sends them to Splunk Observability Cloud. For more information, see About the Splunk Distribution of OpenTelemetry Java.

To instrument your Java application, follow these steps:

Check compatibility and requirements. See Java agent compatibility and requirements.
Instrument your Java application. See Instrument your Java application for Splunk Observability Cloud.
Configure your instrumentation. See Configure the Java agent.

You can also automatically instrument your Java applications along with the Splunk Distribution of OpenTelemetry Collector installation. Automatic instrumentation removes the need to install and configure the Java agent separately. See Splunk OpenTelemetry Zero Configuration Auto Instrumentation for Java for the installation instructions.
