Collect traces and spans to monitor your distributed applications with Splunk Application Performance Monitoring (APM). A trace is a collection of actions, or spans, that occur to complete a transaction. Splunk APM collects and analyzes every span and trace from each of the services that you have connected to Splunk Observability Cloud to give you full-fidelity access to all of your application data.
To keep up to date with changes in APM, see the Splunk Observability Cloud release notes.
