Hi, I’m David Carasso, perhaps you’ve seen my famous File Classifier Video. It’s the number one video at CurrentTV.

Below is a second screen capture video that I just made to describe Splunk’s new Event Typer. The Event Typer dynamically tags system events in custom, yet, universal ways. For example, I can say that for any event that happens on Sunday, that has ’status=Fatal’, and that has “sourcetype=weblogic”, to be dynmaically tagged as a “weekend_fatal_weblogic” event. Topics covered include: what is an event type; how to search, view, and count event types; creating an event type; creating an event-type template; and discovering event-types.

Yes, production value is what you’ve come to expect from a Carasso Production. That’s right 15 minutes of unscripted nerd talk. Now with a bonus 45 seconds of video as I type in an off-camera window. But I promise you’ll learn a few useful things you didn’t know.

Hi, I’m David Carasso and below is a screen capture video I just made to describe Splunk’s File Classifer. The File Classifier takes a file and tell you what type it is. From that sourcetype we determine what to do with the file and how to process it. It’s pretty critical for properly handling a file, including time-stamping events and aggregating multiple lines into single events. There are several methods that the File Classifer uses to classify a file, and we’ll cover each one with real-world examples.

Yes, production value is at a new low here as I cover 18 minutes unscripted, but I promise you’ll learn a few useful things you didn’t know. There’s a free Splunk t-shirt for the commentor that guesses the actual number of times I say “uhhhhh”.
