• Blazingly fast reports ... up to 1,000x faster
• Enterprise-class scale and resilience built-in
• A powerful platform for enterprise apps

Splunk Enterprise 5 is available now. Download it today and experience it for yourself.

Blazingly Fast Reports, Made Simple

Whether you're in the business of running, securing and auditing IT, developing applications or providing analytics for the business. Faster reporting means faster insights and intelligence. Patent pending report acceleration technology makes reports run dramatically faster—up to 1,000x faster. All you need to do is check a box. Under the covers, summaries are maintained on the index tier, so they're up-to-date, scalable and used by other eligible searches.

Create More Intelligent Dashboards

It's really powerful when you can click on any chart or table and get directly to the raw events and go from "the what" to "the why." Now you can go one step further with dynamic drilldowns. Create custom drill down behavior. Click through to another dashboard, form, view or external website and carry forward the relevant context. Dashboards become more intelligent and your users get a more intuitive experience.

Share Reports and Dashboards with Anyone

Sharing the insights you get from your data is as important as finding them. Which is why we created integrated PDF generation. Send reports and dashboards to anyone—from Linux, Unix, Mac or Windows platforms. You can share PDFs on demand or schedule delivery on an ongoing basis.

High Availability on Commodity Servers and Storage

Your data is mission-critical and patent pending index replication technology provides greater protection against data loss—even while scaling on low-cost commodity hardware and storage. As Splunk software collects data, it keeps multiple identical copies. If one or more indexers fail, the incoming data will continue to get indexed—and the data will continue to be searchable. By spreading data across multiple indexers, searches can read from many indexers in parallel, improving performance.

Get More Data Sources into Splunk

Splunk 5 data collection and indexing are universal. Just point Splunk software at your data. Splunk Enterprise starts collecting and indexing, so you can start searching and analyzing. There are times when you need to prepare data from a non-standard source. Modular inputs allow you to extend the Splunk framework to define a custom input capability and reuse other inputs. New inputs can be installed directly from Splunkbase and they will appear automatically in the Splunk manager UI.

Enabling the Big Data Ecosystem

Platforms need to provide better interoperability. And for Hadoop users, we are providing just that. To help address common challenges deploying and running Hadoop.

Splunk Hadoop Connect integration enables users to leverage Splunk Enterprise to reliably collect massive volumes of machine data. Analyze data in real-time, create visualizations, custom dashboards and protect data with secure role-based access. Then reliably deliver data to Hadoop for ongoing batch analytics. You can also import and index data stored in Hadoop because once your data is in Splunk, it's available for rapid visualization, reporting, analysis and sharing.

The Splunk App for HadoopOps extends what Splunk already does so well—troubleshoot and monitor your Hadoop infrastructure. And because it's Splunk software it doesn't stop with the Hadoop components, it includes your IT infrastructure from end-to-end. So you get a more complete view of your environment.

A Platform for Building Enterprise Apps

Developer teams will find a whole host of ways to leverage Splunk Enterprise. Debug and troubleshoot applications during development and test cycles or integrate data from Splunk Enterprise into custom applications. Output data from any API endpoint in JSON and ensure custom Splunk development over time, with API versioning. Splunk Enterprise ships with the JavaScript SDK with additional downloadable SDKs for Java, Python and PHP making it easy to customize and extend the power of Splunk Enterprise.
