What is
Splunk:
It’s a popular
Advanced IT Search Tool used by many
companies which derives information from machine data. To make it more lucid, Splunk has the ability
to search, monitor and analyze through all machine generated data such as log data
generated by applications, servers, and network devices across an organization.
This product further indexes structured
as well as unstructured data and helps in diagnosing the problems, making it
easy for administrators, business analysts and managers to detect requisite
information.
Splunk’s web interface makes its easy to examine data as an
alternative of going through each log files individually. Splunk helps in easier
monitoring and log aggregation thus allowing non experts and beginners to
extract important data from the log entries.
