The description of Splunk - Play With New Friends
Indexing, searching and reporting tool for networksSplunk is a web based tool for IT administrators that need to search and navigate IT data from applications, servers and network devices in real-time.The tool allows you to log, configure systems, run scripts, search code, and much more. The developer claims that if your machine can generate it then "Splunk can eat it". Splunk is a handy monitoring tool that can alert you to changes in scripts, configurations, capture files and even connect to network ports. You can be sent notifications by RSS, email and SNMP.While the indexing, searching and reporting aspects of Splunk are impressive, the presentation is also excellent. It feels like a Google-style analytical tool, offering clear and easy to read reports, and a fairly easy setup procedure. However, anyone trying to use this on a small network with little IT administration knowledge will find it tricky. It's definitely aimed at the advanced group of network administrators out there.Splunk is a fully comprehensive monitoring, alert and reporting app that will appeal to experienced administrators working on large networks.Splunk is a fully comprehensive monitoring, alert and reporting app that will appeal to experienced administrators working on large networks.Real-time alertingReal-time alerting and management gives you the ability to react at the speed of your IT Data.
