Splunk

Splunk is a big data platform that simplifies the task of collecting and managing massive volumes of machine-generated data and searching for information within it. The technology is used for business and web analytics, application management, compliance, and security.

Splunk’s software can be used to examine, monitor, and search for machine-generated big data through a browser-like interface. It makes searching for a particular piece of data quick and easy, and more importantly, does not require a database to store data as it uses indexes for storage.

Why Do We Need Splunk?

Splunk is particularly noted for its high performance and scalability, as well as the innovative way in which it collects and presents data. However, the technology can be quite complex to set up and manage.

Key benefits of Splunk include:

● The technology creates analytical reports through interactive charts and graphs, which it can then share with users.

● A Splunk log is highly scalable and easy for organizations to implement.

● It is able to find useful information within organizations’ data without users having to identify it themselves.

● It saves searches and tags that it recognizes as important information, which helps organizations make their systems smarter.

● Its dashboard offers an enhanced graphical user interface (GUI) and real-time visibility.
