Splunk installation and guide
What is Splunk...?
Humans generate data by their actions, Web clicks, purchases, logins and
everything else we do. Machines generate data because they record literally
everything they do and everything that happens to them.
These are things like this, log's application logs and a lot of other metrics.
Splunk takes this data, any type of data, unstructured, structured, machine
generated, human generated.
and allows you to create real value from that data in the form of rich reports, live
dashboards and alerts triggered in a timely manner.
Splunk is great at reading and parsing machine data, in particular, it's a fully
fledged business
intelligence tool, data analytics and science tool, security, incident management,
management tool
and much more.
