The product is good , but the 60 day trial license is already expired.
As the Splunk software is preinstalled on OS the trial license is already activated at the time image was created and so when launched this ami , my license is already expired 4 months back. Support can you help please ? I need to evaluate consumption before purchasing the license.
Comprehensive log aggregate and analyzer
What do you like best about the product?
ad-hoc analysis of logs coming from distributed application.
What do you dislike about the product?
cost is very high, there are different licences available we choose SaaS which is expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we have a long list of applications deployed in microservices architecture, difficult to troubleshoot in the traditional way, Dashboard is also used for monitoring app health and health trends.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
rather pushing everything to Splunk put Kafka/AMQP before log aggregator, and important types of log messages need to go in slunk, not all log messages need to go to Splunk, would save on cost and help to monitor though topics of the queue for urgency or important.
Best monitoring tool
What do you like best about the product?
application availbilty,error logs, system alerts
What do you dislike about the product?
too much query to write to find out the error logs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
application availabilty and logs for every application
A single tool for logging, alerting and dashboards
What do you like best about the product?
While writing queries you refine and build the searches is very helpful. Creating dashboard and graphical representation is easy.Creating Alerts and and setting intervals/cron schedule is quick. extraxting fields using auto regex is very helpful.Saved searches sharing in a secure manner. Sharing them in read-only formats like PDFs using database connection. Exporting data into XML and JSON format is what i uses while transferring or upload into a different infrastructure/system.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes its very slow, not sure may be due to large amount of data .
While query is very big we should have a separate editor in place writing in query editor.
Some time fetching specific fields using extract field feature may not give what you need.
Sometime searches take little extra time to understand, mainly regular expressions and to new users.
Would be nice if data compression of data stored on disk can be optimized.

Alerting on specific failures.
Quick reactive and some time proactive actions help resolve issue ahead of time before it impact more business users. In-built and communicating tools make intellect of complex data.Real time alerting on critical events, sending emails and executing predefined scripts for corrective measures. We are also generating HPSM incidents based on splunk alerting based on triggering script. Geographical charts showing impacted states during enterprise outages is what higher management look for. Splunk API allowing us to access the splunk data programmatically to feed into another system.

Have you ever had to grep for mail logs? If so you will love SPLUNK.
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to create and supplement source types for the data you care about. You don't have to spend hours digging through logs. You can just pull out key fields and use them as key values to report on.
What do you dislike about the product?
If I had to choose something that I dislike about Splunk it would be that I think it needs more easy to create dashboards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The business problem that we are solving with spunk is that when something goes wrong we want a place to quickly look through logs and search on what we need. The ability to try to find a common issue or connection across systems without having to grep through logs on servers. This benefit saves us a lot of time when dealing with issues that arise for ourselves or our clients.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
To take the time to build out your use cases before stepping into splunk. If everything is laid out before hand you can maximize spunk to your advantages across teams with things like specialized dashboards to display only a certain log or set of logs.
Splunk is a great tool are debugging issues
What do you like best about the product?
We use splunk to log errors, warning and information messages so that we can debug test env and production environment issues. It is fast and easy to use, can make graphs and tables, so handy. Can filter out information based on different attributes making it easier to find the logs that you are most interested in. Makes life easier for a developer cause some things can't be understood until live traffic hits your app.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really, I like this tool. Somtimes I notice that I get 504 error on the page, or service not available errors, then I have to keep refreshing the page until it starts working again. It will be good if that does not happen, other than that, it can take sometime to retrieve records for a longer period of time, but thats bound to happen, I am sure they optimize the retrieval time as much as possible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helps to debug production issues, we use it to log info, warning and errors.
Splunk is one of the recommended software when it comes to data analysis.
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing that I like about splunk is Its search are analysis engine for all of our log data, data analytical tool, comprehensive data analytics that is been provided by splunk.
What do you dislike about the product?
Till now I haven't faced any problem with this software which will incline me towards not liking this software. It automatically collects data in real time from multiple systems is one of the best feature of this software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The benefits of using this software is that you can save whatever you are doing into the dashboard and from there you can then pick up next time and start working or upload another data set or log file and do different types of analysis which is required to perform.
