Q: What is Splunk?
A: Simply put, Splunk is a software or a platform that is used to search and analyze machine data and provide a visual analysis report. Some people say that it is an intelligent analysis platform. You pass it a lot of data, and it spit out a variety of beautiful visual reports, histograms, pie charts, line charts, point charts, and maps. . . . . Splunk basically has the report graphics you usually do for the leader report. Through it, you can make your data speak, and through your analysis, make your data more valuable, and then you report to your boss, the boss is very happy after hearing your report, and then decide to appreciate your value . . . Salary increase. . . Well, it's a bit far away.
So Splunk is:

Machine data search engine. . .

Log analysis tool. . .

Intelligent monitoring tools. . .

In fact, it is all, it is the home of IT operation and maintenance personnel (this new coronavirus, I also work at home for half a month!) And the necessary tool for home office! The best companion for data! The lucky star of the O & M dog!
