"We have 2700 users of Splunk and being able to provide dashboards on iPads means we can get more data to more people, when they want it."

Operational Intelligence Made Easier
Combined Real-time and Historical Analysis
Splunk has been a pioneer in providing the ability to analyze real-time and historical data in the same dashboard. We've taken this a step further in Splunk 4.3 by integrating real-time and historical search results in the same chart. Monitor real-time conditions and see the full historical context you need to make more accurate decisions.
Vital Granular Trend Data At-a-glance
Sparklines provide at-a-glance trending of big data at a granular level. Not only do you see the normal timeline view, but also the more granular sparklines view. See patterns in your data that may have been invisible before.
Expanded Controls for Operational Monitoring
Per Result Alerting allows you to alert and take action on each and every event that meets your specific criteria, so you can define complex alerting conditions, at any level of granularity.
Dashboards Editable by Business Users
We've made it easy for business users and analysts to create and edit dashboards without calling IT. Edit dashboards simply by dragging and dropping. Change chart types on the fly with integrated charting controls.
"Splunk 4.3 is especially important for business users with dashboards that provide insights - integrating real-time and historical data for analysis, and which are easy for business users to personalize on the fly."
Research Director, Infrastructure Management
Faster, More Scalable
Machine data is one of the fastest growing, most complex segments of big data. To stay ahead of the curve, we've made Splunk 4.3 faster and more scalable. "Needle in a haystack" searches are up to 10x faster and you can now support 10x more users, all on the same deployment.
Easier to Manage
Preview New Data Before Indexing
Data Input Preview lets you preview data that is about to be indexed, so you can see how Splunk will handle it. Now you can see what you're getting, before you commit to an indexing strategy.
Extend Splunk to More of the Organization
Multi-domain LDAP lets you align Splunk to more complex enterprise security policies.
