What is Splunk
Splunk is a software platform that specializes in taking
large amounts of data, specifically machine-generated
data, and making it usable for businesses. This
machine-generated data can come from a variety of
sources, like websites, applications, sensors, and other
devices that make up a company's IT infrastructure.
Splunk can search, analyze, and visualize this data in
real time, which allows businesses to identify trends,
diagnose problems, and gain valuable insights from their
data. In other words, Splunk helps businesses turn
complex data into actionable information.
