Splunk Enterprise is a software product that enables you to search, analyze, and visualize the machine-generated data gathered from the websites, applications, sensors, devices, and so on, that comprise your IT infrastructure or business.
Splunk software reliably collects and indexes all the streaming data from IT systems, technology devices and the Internet of Things in real-time – tens of thousands of sources in unpredictable formats and types. Splunk software is optimized for real-time, low latency and interactivity.
Organizations use Splunk software and their data the following ways:
1. Find and fix problems dramatically faster
2. Automatically monitor to identify issues, problems and attacks
3. Gain end-to-end visibility to track and deliver on IT KPIs and make better-informed IT decisions
4. Gain real-time insight from operational data to make better-informed business decisions
This is described as Operational Intelligence: visibility, insights and intelligence from operational data.
Making machine data accessible,usable and valuable to everyone
