New features

Search improvements

There are changes to how SplunkWeb and the search language work. See what's new Documentation:preview:SearchImprovements:latest.


Enhanced strptime() format recognition

Splunk's strptime() parser now handles more granular time specifications. Learn more Documentation:preview:EnhancedStrptimeFormatSupport:latest.


Live Tail

Live Tail lets you monitor a stream of data as it is being indexed in Splunk. It has similar functionality to tail -f in a Unix shell, and allows you to stream events from a simple keyword search to a browser window.

New commands

Check out some of the powerful Documentation:preview:NewSearchCommands:latest that have been added. Also, see changes made to existing commands.
