Hello - Back in August, I sent a quick intro about the Splunk Office in Seattle. Details are below if you missed that email or are a new member. We are still hiring engineers for our Seattle office. So, send me an email: [email protected] if you are interested.
Paul ________________________________ Introducing Splunk > Seattle We recently opened a new office in Seattle for Splunk. Splunk (www.splunk.com) is based in San Francisco and is a NoSQL/MapReduce/BigData (insert data buzzword) engine. Essentially, Splunk is a search engine and analytic environment that uses a distributed map-reduce architecture to efficiently index, search and process large time-varying data sets. The Splunk web UI is all Python using CherryPy. We're Building the Splunk SDKs & Doing Docs, Docs, & Docs Here in Seattle we are building out the SDKs on top of our REST API to make it easier to interface with Splunk. All of our SDKs will be open source and will contain a lot of examples and command line utilities. Useful docs are critical and we are spending a lot of time on that too. What Can You Do with Splunk? Okay - great – so there are SDKs, but what can you do with them? Generally customers and developers have been wanting to extract data from Splunk for archival; integrate Splunk data with reporting and portal interfaces; load data into other data stores like a traditional data warehouse with some data cleansing along the way, doing some complex event processing or even build a whole new web UI on top of Splunk. There is also a lot of customization that you can make to Splunk Web though custom python scripts and by using Mako templates.
