Question

Can anyone explain what does Splunk do?

Answer 1

Splunk is an advanced, scalable, and effective technology used for searching, monitoring, and examining machine-generated Big Data. Splunk is a tool that indexes and searches log files stored in a system. Splunk is used to build machine-generated data available over an organization and is able to recognize data patterns, produce metrics, diagnose problems, and grant intelligence for business operation purposes. Splunk software helps to search for particular data even in a bunch of complex data easily. Splunk software has a feature that helps the user to detect the configuration file problems and see the current configurations that are being used.
