Create global data links to link Splunk APM properties, such as services, traces, spans, and span tags, to relevant resources. For example, you can link APM properties to Infrastructure Monitoring dashboards, Splunk instances, Kibana logs, or custom URLs.

Global data links are useful because they dynamically transfer contextual information about the property you’re viewing to the resource, helping you get to relevant information faster.

For information about creating global data links, see Link APM services, traces, and spans to relevant resources.
