The Splunk Enterprise AMI accelerates the speed at which organizations deploy Splunk Enterprise in AWS..
Overview
The Splunk Enterprise AMI accelerates the speed at which organizations deploy Splunk Enterprise in AWS. Splunk Enterprise is the leading platform for Operational Intelligence, delivering an easy, fast, and secure way to search, analyze and visualize the massive streams of machine data generated by your IT systems and technology infrastructure - physical, virtual and in the cloud. Use this AMI to take Splunk for a test drive, or as the basis for your Enterprise-level deployment. The Splunk Enterprise AMI ships with a fully-featured trial license that is valid for 60 days after launch. After the trial expires, your deployment will default to Splunk Free.
Highlights
- Collect and index any machine-generated data from virtually any source or location in real time. Just point Splunk Enterprise at your data, and it immediately starts collecting and indexing--so you can start searching and analyzing.
- With Splunk Enterprise, you can correlate complex events spanning many diverse data sources across your environment. Types of correlations include time-based correlations, transaction-based correlations, sub-searches, lookups, and joins.
- Splunk Enterprise scales to collect and index tens of terabytes of data per day. And because the insights from your data are mission critical, Splunk Enterprise's clustering technology provides the availability you need, even as you scale out your low-cost, distributed computing environment.
