What is Splunk?

"Splunk is a search engine for IT data. It's software that lets you search and analyze all the data your IT infrastructure generates from a single location in real time. We call this IT Search. No need for databases, connectors, custom parsers or proprietary consoles. Just your imagination and a web browser! Now you can troubleshoot IT problems and investigate security incidents in minutes, not hours or days. Monitor all your applications, servers and network devices from one place.
