Splunk is IT Search
Search and navigate IT data from applications, servers and network devices in real-time. Logs, configurations, messages,
traps and alerts, scripts, code, metrics and more. If a machine can generate it - Splunk can eat it. It's easy to download and use and
it's very powerful.

Here are some points I would like to clarify: If I talk about SIM or SIEM, I am talking about the way current SIM solutions are working and the way they are implemented. That means things like relational database, fixed schema, parsed and normalized data, or hierarchical… Read more »
The Commoditization of the IT Professional (or is there a new Black Art?)
A recent gathering of friends (a group of IT gray-hairs, artists, and lawyers) had got me thinking about IT as a profession, and the development of the industry since I got involved 20 years ago. 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 »

I hate log management for over the years it has been co-opted by vendors and analysts who've pigeon… Read more »
