In celebration of this wonderful day, I would like to redirect you to a previous blog article regarding a song I wrote about being a Splunk user. It’s real geeky, I admit, but hey, if you use Splunk or are thinking about it, I’m am sure you can relate to it. And if you are a long-time customer already, well, then,…you know doing geeky stuff like this is part of being a Splunkhead.

Check out my rap song called “Splunk IT”
