Cisco SK-SAO-CLD-SVADD Observability Cloud Span Volume Add-On

Increase the trace-span capacity assigned to a Splunk Observability Cloud environment with Cisco SK-SAO-CLD-SVADD. This subscription add-on addresses span volume, the telemetry unit created as instrumented services record distributed transactions. It applies to teams using Observability Cloud for application and service visibility where trace activity needs capacity beyond the base subscription. It is intended for distributed applications with multiple services participating in a request path or transaction. Span data follows requests across service boundaries and helps engineers examine transaction paths, dependency calls, and latency points. A span-volume add-on keeps the focus on that tracing data type rather than adding a separate appliance, network interface, or monitoring console. The subscription format makes this item relevant to existing Observability Cloud environments that require additional trace telemetry capacity. Use the canonical ordering code SK-SAO-CLD-SVADD when selecting the add-on associated with an Observability Cloud service. The designation specifically calls out span volume, so it should be evaluated against the trace data generated by deployed instrumentation and agents. It is distinct within the Observability Cloud subscription range because its stated purpose is to add capacity for spans, not to provide a new hardware platform or replace application instrumentation.
