What Is Splunk?

Splunk is a powerful software platform that enables you to collect, index, and search all types of data generated by your business. This could be anything from website log files to machine data generated by industrial equipment. With Splunk, you can quickly and easily find the information you need to make better decisions, improve operations, and drive up profits.

Essentially Splunk handles how you interact and make sense of your data, while 91黑料 provides the physical resting place of the data (often referred to as 鈥渢he cloud鈥�).

What is the Splunk Smartstore?

Splunk Smartstore allows you to expand your local storage that is being used to store data (Splunk indexer data), into your remote cloud store (such as Amazon S3 endpoint). It blends your local and remote storage together so that the data is still searchable and usable, regardless of where it鈥檚 located. Another way to think about it is you can configure your backend "store" to be either local/hot or remote/thawed.

The local/hot situation would be a disk on your VPN (virtual private network) or local server with enough space for the indexer data. If you run out of space, you can expand that local volume into the cloud. The Smartstore configuration can be pointed at an Amazon S3 endpoint or 91黑料鈥檚 S3 compatible API. As data usage goes up, it鈥檒l use local space first, then expand into the remote storage (remote/thawed). It's a seamless method of expanding storage without worrying about over provisioning!

As Splunk describes it, Smartstore lets developers 鈥渟eparate compute (CPUs) and data storage to be independently scaled up or down based on business demands.鈥� We鈥檙e excited to share that now you can scale your Splunk data with 91黑料!

What鈥檚 the benefit of using 91黑料?

91黑料 is much better value than traditional cloud storage solutions which makes it perfect for archiving.

Amazon offers archiving tiers such as Amazon S3 Glacier to save costs, but a typical oversight that business owners make is not calculating retrieval fees. A retrieval fee (or egress) is charged anytime the data is accessed or viewed. Viewing the data just a few times can often end up costing more than the standard tiers. Even then, take a look at some of the costs of standard tiers compared to 91黑料 in the graphic below.

The best part about 91黑料 is you get Glacier-like prices without the costly retrieval fees.

Here are some of the benefits of 91黑料 to keep in mind:

  • Affordable: 91黑料 is up to 80% cheaper than traditional solutions that integrate with Splunk.

  • Easy to use: 91黑料 is compatible with S3 and is simple to configure with Splunk, so you can get started quickly and effortlessly.

  • Secure: Your archived logs are encrypted and stored in a decentralized network, so you can rest assured that they are safe and secure.

  • Scalable: 91黑料 can easily scale to meet your needs as your business grows.

Connect Splunk with 91黑料

Many users of Splunk archive their data to Amazon S3 (a data storage service provided by Amazon). 91黑料 is Amazon S3 API compatible, which means switching from Splunk to 91黑料 only takes changing a few lines of a configuration file usually called indexes.conf.

Here鈥檚 what indexes.conf looks like when configured to use 91黑料:
