That's it for this year's @Splunk annual user meeting Day 1 keynote from #SplunkConf23. Product keynote is Day 2, tomorrow morning.

Not covering the 'Splunkies', mainly just some superficial overviews of some cool outcomes these customers have achieved with @Splunk while they walk up on stage. But 💯 awesome to see customers being recognized in a Day 1 keynote.

#SplunkConf23

Time for the organized fun! The 'Splunkies' to recognize customers' successes. With my good mate Simon Davies in a tux like he had too rush off to something actually important afterwards. 😉

#SplunkConf23

The inestimable Ryan Kovar talking @Splunk #Cybersecurity, and specifically the Threat Research and 'content' team. This is not new, but it's a major differentiator, providing and sharing attack vector expertise and knowledge. Esp for threat and intrusion hunters.

#SplunkConf23

Great to see a customer case study in the opening keynote. Today is @FedEx #CTO talking about driving value into commercial operations with @Splunk. Talking #DigitalTransformation, but not about #IT success, about business success. Love to see it!!

#SplunkConf23

And a final announcement from @splunk #CEO for the new #Splunk #AI. Light on details but appears to be a #GenAI assistant for (among other things??) writing SPL. Useful. Could be exciting. Need more details on this one for sure!!

.@Splunk CEO trying super hard to connect #Cybersecurity and #ITOps via #Observability. I get it, #O11Y is absolutely a common threat, but real integration takes a lot more than that. Will be keen to see if/this finally lands.

#Splunkconf23

Now onto #Cybersecurity. Also 3 areas of focus. Content. #Visibility, #Automation, Hrrm ...

#splunkconf23

OFC, @splunk #Edge Hub is tightly integrated with Splunk #Cloud.

#splunkconf23

And new products too! Introducing @Splunk #Edge Hub - "to easily extend visibility to all devices".

Yes, it's a box.

#splunkconf23

Major announcement in the first 19 mins too - #partnership with @Microsoft to make @Splunk "a first class offer" on @Azure.

About damn time 🙌

#splunkconf23

#Digital Success is a #visibility problem. #Splunk is coming at it from 3 vectors

#SplunkConf23

Not quite the view that so many of my mates have tonight, but I'm here for the @Splunk keynote watch party

Especially in harmony.

Tired of screaming into the void about cybersecurity? You can come scream with me in Vegas at #splunkconf23 next week. Rage is a team sport.
