Splunk is _piping_ hot!
That's right! It's "on fire" folks! Hotter than the sun! Burning its way into the thoughts and minds and data centers across the world.

Ode to Log Management
I love "log management." I hate log management. I love log management because years ago it was the impetus for IT to move beyond simple SNMP monitoring to collecting and trying to understand a much richer set of data about complex environments.
