The old way: Complex apps fail more and are harder to analyze.

Today's scaled out web applications are more mission critical than ever before. They're also much more complex - rapid application development, services-oriented architectures and distributed web and application servers provide more points of failure and make unraveling problems much tougher. Developers and application administrators are also often frustrated by a lack of direct access to production logs, configurations and system diagnostics, relying on server administrators to respond to manual data requests. All of this means more downtime, impacting revenues, corporate image and employee productivity.

The new way: IT Search lets you find and fix app problems fast.

Splunk indexes logs, configurations, metrics and other IT data from every application component - from J2EE, .Net, PHP and other application server logs to web access and error logs and even message queues and database audit tables. It lets you search and navigate all this data from one place without requiring direct access to production servers. You can save and schedule searches as alerts to proactively monitor for recurring problems and even generate reports on errors and service levels. Now you can find and resolve problems faster to keep your complex applications running.
