For real time data analyzing get splunk.
Spunk is a great tool. We use it for analyzing large chunks of data in the data center where the data is dynamic and continuously incoming from various events generated by all the servers. We also keep track of the data provided by the metrics generated which gives a good insight of what is going wrong in the data center.

Splunk: Dynamic and Fast compliance tool
Splunk is really useful while analyzing dynamic data. I have been using Splunk for 2 years and I really find it very useful, especially working with bigger datasets. I have used Splunk for my project to analyze and learn different patterns from [my] university dataset. It was really very easy and user friendly to use.

Good Tool for log mining

Overall the experience with Splunk has been good. Although some aspects of UI are little annoying when the query exceeds certain limit the text-area gets bigger and there is no way of knowing if the query is actually running or just hung up. Considering the amount of data being pumped everyday Splunk is very good tool for analyzing and creating reports. Another aspect which can be enhanced is of creating public dashboards which enables all the users to see them just with a link and also to delete them when not needed. Overall very good tool and have had a positive experience with it.

Review of Splunk
Currently our cloud services logging is integrated with Splunk . Before Splunk it used to be very long and not a user friendly process if we wanted to check any logs on any of the nodes . With Splunk it is very very easy and efficient. We also use it for additional analysis of our cloud services systems.

We use Splunk to monitor (performance, status, capacity, inventory) all our multi-ventor storage equipment. It is the best tool I've found to be able to monitor/alert on any type of equipment & no other tool is able to do what Splunk does.

Splunk, the sexy, sporty car that I can't afford.
Used to analyze web logs to find anomalies. It was supposed to make easier to for business to understand impact of various types of campaigns. It was also meant to find problems that may occur as part of application failure or fraud, or phishing attempts. Another application it was meant for is to help IT staff to diagnose problems by having central access for all logs.

Splunk = Binoculars on your logs
I am using Splunk everyday to know what is going on in production. All our services logs are indexed in it and we can easily fetch data with the sample query language offered by Splunk. It really helps us to detect threats before any client complains about it. Moreover, we use it to output stats about the performance of our services.

We use Splunk for application alerts, reporting and debugging purposes. We have been using Splunk across multiple projects in our mobile development department. Splunk helps us to closely monitor application logs which are spread across multiple servers/jvm's. We get a consolidated, view of multiple log files in the Splunk dashboard. Splunk's real time indexing service is very efficient. It takes pre-defined key attributes of log files, creates a link to those attributes and displays it on the dashboard which can be further used to filter out results without writing any complex queries. We have created multiple alerts in Splunk to capture different scenarios, one of the most important alerts is the capturing of runtime exceptions (for eg. NullPointerException, Outofmemory Exception etc). This alert informs the development team immediately, resulting in immediate action to resolve that issue based on complexity.

Splunk was used to mine system logs for trends and errors. It was expensive, and the most interesting reports ran very slowly. So slowly that sometimes you couldn't get the results before something would time out. I didn't design the system or the report.

Splunk is being used as an aggregator of our log data to produce reports for activity and audit and to monitor file access. The capabilities of Splunk streamline the level of effort needed to produce reports for auditors. Additionally, it can be setup to monitor file access which can indicate a data breach attempt as an example.
