**** UPDATE - 10/31/08 ****
Hey all,
I’ve updated the app to version 1.8.
The only fix in this version is a bug with multiple datacenters.
Version 1.8 should now work for an unlimited number of datacetners.
( Thanks to Stephen for finding and letting me know )

As always feel free to bug me if the app has any problems.

Hey all,
I updated the latest release - 1.7 - to fix a shutdown bug.
Turns out that in prior releases when Splunk was shut down that the VMWare app kept running.
This release not will terminate the VMWare app when splunkd goes away.

If you would like to test or run without splunk you can pass in the arg.
java -jar splunk.jar –standalone

** see instructions below on how to run the above command **
As usual, drop me a line if you have any questions.
Good luck with 1.7

**** UPDATE - 09/16/08 ****

Thanks to more testing i have found and fixed a few critical bugs.
Updated APP version 1.6 >> here <<

Hey all,

It’s taken longer than we would have liked but our 3rd preview build has been posted.
Get’um here

A bunch of work has gone into windows stability, tons of bugs were fixed, and a bunch of customer requests have been implemented ( we will let you know out of band ). We expect that this release should be more stable, slightly faster, and less buggy.

Left to do, we still have a bunch of IE work, performance improvements, and cleaning up of some features like interactive field extraction and event type discovery.

Its still not production ready so don’t even think of trying it out for real - and there is no guarantee that migration will work from a preview to GA ( we will migrate from 3.1.x to GA but not preview ). Also, don’t run splunk as root - its just not good to do until we run through all our testing.

As always, please send us feedback at splunkpreview@splunk.com or hit us up on IRC (irc.efnet.org #splunk).
The last round of info from Preview #2 was awesome please keep it up!

Happy new year (bit early) all dev.splunk.com readers….
We have just posted our second 3.2 preview release. (build number 30455)

Its packed with holiday goodness, albeit very raw.

First you will notice we have posted a windows build. Its been in the cooker since last Feb and thanks to Mitch, Ledio, Igor and a bit of Amrit we now have a single code base that rocks on linux, mac, solaris, freebsd, aix, AND windows. This was not an easy feat as evidenced by our gift of a pony (soft and electronic) to Mitch for his effort. Its still very raw (the build not the pony), and has a tendency to crash because of a memory fragentation and limited vm space. Which will be fixed by GA… MarkB. will post more on the build so stay tuned for details. Its a big deal for us so be patient and we sure could use feedback on how to make it the best it can be.

Also in this release you will see the UI starts to get some of the async search results. Over the next few releases we will be moving to fully async search in the UI. It will take a few turns but this preview has some of the first cut.
