Splunk 2.0 released—JavaOne booth 1036
Splunk 2.0 adds enough Ajax UI and community tagging to earn the 2.0 moniker. Infoworld dubbed Splunk one of 15 startups to watch in this week’s issue—and they hadn’t seen the new version yet.
Splunk 2.0 live demo (requires IE6+ or Mozilla/Firefox. Opera 9.0 is on the list.)
You can find Splunk at JavaOne booth 1036. Watch out for the redhead. She’s not a booth bunny, she’s the VP of product development. Ask her for a free t-shirt, available in sysadmin black.
Disclaimer: As the company’s official Word Splunker (yes, it says that on my business cards) I’m totally biased. But I can quote Interop lead network engineer Glenn Evans: “I was impressed with Splunk 1.0 which we used in the InteropNet at Interop New York last year, but with 2.0 Splunk has really taken their software to the next level. We used an advanced copy of 2.0 in the InteropNet at Interop Las Vegas 2006 recently, which enabled us to more quickly drill down into issues and resolve them in a timely manner.” Interop’s Splunk 2.0 server indexed 378 million events in five days.
Since you read the whole thing, here’s a shortcut to the free download for Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD and OS X.
