- Core Technologies: Splunk AI Assistants, AI Agents for Splunk Apps, Splunk MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server, Splunk Hosted Models, and AI-powered app development tools.
🎯 THE THREE SYSTEM TRACKS
Your system architecture must be designed to plug seamlessly into operational data pipelines and must be submitted under one of these core vectors:
📊 1. Observability Track
- The Mission: Build intelligent applications tailored for Software, ITOps, or NetOps engineering teams.
- Focus: Automating operational fault responses, processing complex system behavior diagnostics, and detecting telemetry anomalies ahead of critical server failures using AI agents.
🛡️ 2. Security Track
- The Mission: Support SecOps and threat intelligence teams by optimizing incident triage and handling raw log volumes.
- Focus: Engineering autonomous security workflows, accelerating incident response, and hunting complex system-level threats via Splunk data streams.
⚙️ 3. Platform & Developer Experience Track
- The Mission: Lower the barrier to entry for building on the platform.
- Focus: Automating routine developer workflows, optimizing API middleware communication layers, and simplifying how standalone external apps interact with Splunk infrastructure.
