Splunk

I’ve been using Splunk for almost 10 years, after first being introduced to it as a Security tool while I was working at a major Australian bank. So impressed with the product, I joined the company, and have been a Professional Services consultant with them ever since.

What the Splunk?

We Make Machine Data Accessible, Usable and Valuable to Everyone

Splunk provides a mechanism for the collection of machine data information and events, with a robust storage and analysis engine. Sitting on top of this is a web front end that allows rapid exploration and development of dashboards and alerts. The whole framework allows easy integration of machine learning, custom visualisations and automated responses.

We also have the best T-shirts 😉
