**** 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

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

I’m looking for some help.
I’ve built a VMWare app for splunk and in the process of doing the same for Xen. These Apps use the VMWare and Xensource API’s to index everything about the VM environment. When combined with splunk instances running within the guest OS you get a very comprehensive historical picture. I’m curious are there any splunk customers out there using VMWare or Xen? I’m looking for usecases so that i better understand how to configure the apps. I’d be curious to know what types of information would be useful to capture and what types of searches would one want to perform. Both Xen and VMWare have so much data available that configuration could be complicated. I’m trying to narrow it down to several useful out of the box configurations. If your have any thoughts comment here or email me at erik at splunk dot com.

Thanks
