Raise your hand if you’ve already forgotten your username or password when logging into an account.
(We can’t actually see if you’re raising it but we’re assuming you did.)
No more at Splunk! Now, you can use your Splunk Cloud Platform as your identity provider (IdP) to sign in to Splunk Observability Cloud. This means that you don’t need to have a separate username or password to log into your Observability Cloud account, instead, you can use the credentials from Splunk Cloud Platform to get to your Splunk APM, Infrastructure Monitoring, RUM or Synthetics product for a more seamless login experience. And yes, you can now use a Single Sign On (SSO) to log into Splunk Observability Cloud, isn’t that better?
With Unified Identity, you get the following
- Faster Login Experience: You can now use the same credentials to log in to Splunk Cloud and Splunk Observability Cloud via SSO
- Secure and bi-directional data access: by making Splunk Cloud your main identity provider, your Splunk Cloud’s role-based access control is honored in Splunk Observability Cloud
- Faster Mean Time to Resolve: As Splunk Cloud and Splunk Observability Cloud users, you can access both platform’s data seamlessly based on your needs for a more unified and flexible experience
Check out the documentation where you can see how your Splunk Admins can enable this feature for you in just a few minutes. Important note, the AWS region for your Splunk Cloud Platform instance must be the same as your Splunk Observability Cloud instance realm.
