Administering APM

Now that you have the core components for Splunk Application Performance Monitoring, let’s focus on administration. It’s important for you to know how to best manage the tool in order to optimize usage throughout your organization.

You can find all of the documentation for administration related activities here, but let’s touch on a few important ones to be aware of as you get started:

• Create and manage users. Add users to the instance and begin onboarding their data
• Create and manage access tokens. Use authentication tokens to authenticate Splunk API requests, track API usage and control your use of resources
• Manage permissions for detectors, dashboard groups and dashboards
