Splunk Observability Cloud domain change

This page announces the new domain for Splunk Observability Cloud and explains how the change affects domains, customers, and required preparation.

This page explains the Splunk Observability Cloud domain update, what changes for customers, and what preparation may be required. Since March 2026, all new customers have used observability.splunkcloud.com for the product UI, data ingestion, APIs, and integrations. Existing customers are receiving the domain update in stages. The update changes product-generated links and applicable links in detectors; it does not move customer accounts or data.

The domain you choose will influence how you configure and use the platform, including:
  • data ingest configuration

  • Single Sign-On (SSO) setup

  • organization creation

  • user invitations

  • login and access workflows

Both the legacy (signalfx.com) and new domains will remain available until further notice, and we will continue to provide guidance as support for the new domain expands. The domain update does not require you to change the signalfx.com ingest endpoints.

Product UI (SaaS URL)

Since March 2026, all new customers have accessed Splunk Observability Cloud at observability.splunkcloud.com.

For existing customers, the login URL changes only for users who sign in through SAML or Splunk Unified Identity. After their organization's domain update, these users must sign in using the new URL. Users who sign in with a username and password can continue using either domain; we recommend observability.splunkcloud.com. See What changes during the domain update.

Use the URL format that applies to your organization:

Legacy URL New URL
https://app.realm.signalfx.com https://app.realm.observability.splunkcloud.com
https://your-org.signalfx.com https://your-org.observability.splunkcloud.com

Replace realm or your-org with the value for your organization.

API and service URL changes

Existing signalfx.com ingest and API endpoints remain available. There is no planned retirement date for existing signalfx.com ingest endpoints. See API and Service URL mappings for the legacy and new endpoint URLs.

Purpose of the new domain

The new domain highlights that Splunk Observability Cloud is a fully integrated and supported part of the Splunk Cloud Platform. It also simplifies navigation and provides a consistent experience across the broader Splunk product portfolio.

Domain availability

All new customers have used observability.splunkcloud.com since March 2026. Existing customers are receiving the domain update in the following groups. The dates describe when product links and applicable detector references are updated; they do not indicate an account or data migration.

Automatic domain update

Organizations that do not use SAML and do not have alert integrations requiring additional preparation will receive the update between October 28 and November 11, 2026. We have emailed the administrators with further instructions.

Guided domain update

Organizations that use SAML or have affected alert integrations will be able to request the domain update between November 2026 and July 2027. We will email administrators detailed instructions and next steps.

Required actions and recommendations

Follow the instructions emailed to your organization's administrators. If your organization uses SAML or an affected alert integration, complete the preparation described in those instructions and coordinate with Support if requested.

Make sure users can reach observability.splunkcloud.com. If your network uses domain-based filtering, firewalls, proxies, or allowlists, permit access to the new domain.

The domain update does not move your account or data, and it does not require changes to Collector, agent, SDK, OTLP, or other telemetry endpoint configurations.

What changes during the domain update

Product-generated communications that link to Splunk Observability Cloud, including alerts, reminders, and other product emails, will use observability.splunkcloud.com. Where applicable detector fields contain signalfx.com links, those links will be updated to observability.splunkcloud.com. The fields include runbookUrl, tip, parameterizedBody, and parameterizedSubject. Only links that reference the old domain are changed.

Recommendations for future planning

To ensure uninterrupted access and data ingest, confirm that your organization can reach Splunk Observability Cloud using the new domain (observability.splunkcloud.com). Review your infrastructure for any network or security updates to identify any required changes to your network, security, or configuration settings.

Areas to review

Access issues typically stem from controls in the following areas:

  • Network controls: DNS (including custom/internal DNS), proxies, gateways, routing, firewall rules, and outbound (egress) allowlists

  • Security controls: endpoint protection, web/application firewalls, TLS/SSL inspection, and destination allowlists/deny lists

Key checks

End-user access (web application)

Verify that users can open and sign in to the Splunk Observability Cloud web UI using the new domain from all relevant environments (e.g., corporate network, VPN, VDI). Any saved or bookmarked URLs pointing to the old domain would need to be updated to the new domain.

API and tooling access (integrations and automation)

Confirm that systems used for integrations and automation can reach the new domain, including:
  • API calls used by scripts and services

  • CI/CD runners and deployment tooling

  • Third-party integrations that connect to Splunk Observability Cloud endpoints

Telemetry ingests (infrastructure and gateways)
Confirm that your currently configured telemetry endpoints remain reachable. You do not need to change Collector, agent, SDK, OTLP, or other telemetry endpoint configurations for this domain update.
Note: Adapt these checks to your infrastructure and system context; additional steps may be required for your environment.

API and Service URLs changes

New endpoints are now available under the observability.splunkcloud.com domain. Existing endpoints will remain unchanged and fully supported.
