Veering slightly off-topic, I remember when I asked them to quote me out a license when I was at Answers.com ... for "a couple hundred" servers and their system and web traffic and error logs. They - literally - quoted me a number that was eight digits long, before the decimal point. After I asked them what biological acts were included and with exactly how many professionals, we gave up and built something internally. I could *probably* hire all of Splunk's engineering team for what they wanted to charge me for a year of license. It was ridonculous. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
