Splunk offers us 60 days enterprise license for free. After that you either have switch back to free version or paid or reinstall the whole splunk.

Today i tried to use to build an extension to manipulate the data that the client submit to the server. The plan was to modify some content before the form is sent to the server. Don’t ask me why.

Why don’t we send all our metrics to Azure?You thinkRead More →

Splunk can’t not run curl command by default, but if you install the Webtools Addons then it will open a new world. Below is my query to get PowerBI gateway status directly from Splunk, then i ingest that result into Splunk index. In orderRead More →
