Splunk

August 08, 2007

If you've ever found yourself under pressure searching through multiple application log files trying to grep and figure out why your application threw stack traces once it rolled into the production environment, then you won't want to miss this month's meeting. Eric Garner will be here to talk about and demonstrate Splunk, the world's first IT search engine. He will show us how we can leverage Splunk's unique real-time ad-hoc troubleshooting, alerting, and reporting features to maintain our application availability while saving us time and energy for other more important things, like cruising the Internet and filling out that TPS report. He will also discuss SplunkBase, the fastest-growing public IT "events and errors" wiki website, that hooks directly into Splunk, fostering a new community of Splunkers who are sharing their knowledge about their own application errors and events, what they mean, and what to do about them. And the best part is, Splunk is FREE! Download it now at splunk.com.
