Splunk Live Southwest 2008
This week we've been moseying through the Southwestern part of the US with our Splunk Live show. We changed up the format a bit with Splunk technical workshops in the morning and customer round tables in the afternoon.

Search engine for virtual sprawl - vmware app for splunk
I've wanted to release this a few months ago but the project keeps getting stuck on the back-burner. Finally I've cleaned it up and had a few people try it and it seems to work well. I'm sure there are configurations and versions out there that will have issues - please write me back ( my first name at splunk.com ) if it does not work as… Read more »
Splunk and iPhone
I've been playing with a few things that will eventually turn into an iPhone application to talk to Splunk via the REST API.

The question posed to the group was about whether we would recommend our current professions to our children. This query, a few others, and perhaps one… Read more »
Splunking pitchfork album reviews
One of my favorite sites is the record review and music news site pitchfork media. On the site they have a bunch of interesting statistics like top record for each decade/year but these are obviously a more subjective list than if they crunched the raw stats. For example their #1 album of the nineties is Radiohead's "Ok Computer" (rated 10.0) and… Read more »
Ode to Log Management
I love "log management." I hate log management. I love log management because years ago it was the impetus for IT to move beyond simple SNMP monitoring to collecting and trying to understand a much richer set of data about complex environments. I hate log management for over the years it has been co-opted by vendors and analysts who've pigeon… Read more »
