SAHA - Splunk AppDynamics for Hybrid Application Monitoring 1.0

The Splunk AppDynamics for Hybrid Application Monitoring (SAHA) training aims to enhance your expertise in full stack observability for hybrid applications using Cisco s product portfolio, covering various aspects of observability and analytics. You will explore application performance monitoring (APM) and business analytics for hybrid applications using Cisco AppDynamics. You will also learn about customer digital experience and application dependency monitoring, leveraging network insights through Cisco ThousandEyes and integrating them with real user monitoring in AppDynamics. Finally, you will learn about application security with Cisco Application Security.

Throughout the training, you will not only learn to effectively utilize these solutions but also deploy and configure them within your application environments.

This training is worth 32 Continuing Education (CE) credits towards recertification.
