I have came across 'Splunk' in google, where I got the below collective informations, which may help for you. Some saying in a definition format as it is used for monitoring, searching, analysing and visualising the machine-generated data in real time. Some saying this as "Google for logs" . So, SPLUNK is a software platform to search, analyse and visualise the machine-generated data, which is none other than the log file which is gathered from the websites, applications, sensors, devices etc. . Why we go for SPLUNK: Generally machine data are complex to understand, in an unstructured format and ot suitable for making analysis / visualisation!!! Splunk allows you to accept any data formats like .csv, json, log formats etc. Splunk performs capturing, indexing, and correlating the real time data in a searchable container and produces graphs, alerts, dashboards and visualisations. It provides easy to access data
