What is Splunk?

Splunk is IT search. For that reason Splunk is often called "Google for IT".

With Splunk you can instantly figure out what is happening anywhere in your infrastructure by making use of all the data being logged within your data center.

Only Splunk enables you to search, analyze, monitor and report on data from any application, server or network device in real time to troubleshoot application outages, investigate security incidents, meet compliance requirements, and more, in minutes instead of hours or days.

Logs, configurations, messages, traps and alerts, scripts, code, metrics and more. If a machine can generate it - Splunk can eat it !!!

Now you can search across terabytes of data in seconds to find that needle in the haystack, analyze hidden trends and instantly create reports to summarize activities. Schedule searches to alert on specific conditions and automate the delivery of reports.
