Splunk is a tool for collecting, monitoring, and analyzing log files from servers, applications, or other sources. The primary features of Splunk include:

  • Collecting logs from multiple sources into a single location to allow for use without needing to access individual servers.
  • Parsing of logs with arbitrary formats, including free-form logs with no defined fields
  • Advanced querying of logs, including
    • combining results from different sources
    • filtering based on identified field values and pattern matching
    • analyzing records using statistical and mapping functions
  • visualizing real-time data
  • the ability to create dashboards of various visualizations

The name "Splunk" comes from a rewriting of spelunking, a cave exploring hobby.

Splunk is available as both an enterprise application that runs on your servers (with a free tier) and a hosted service known as Splunk Cloud.
