Hi Folks:

I received an email in another group this morning, that was sponsored by
SPLUNK INC.  the advertisement -- without the link is included below, I
am curious to know if anyone has used this, or knows anything about it.
It sounds like something that I would find VERY useful, BUT.....  I am
in general very very suspicious of anything that is advertised on the
bottom of an e-mail.

	They're a startup in silicon valley and have been around for around two 
years. I went to a sysadmin roundtable they sponsored at a wine bar in 
SF last month. Got to hang out with Eric Allman (sendmail) and Ethan 
Galstad (nagios) who were leading two of the roundtables.

	On the Splunk side I talked to their support manager, BTW they're 
hiring for Level 2/3 support, and their lead architect who laughed when 
I asked about their schema. They're using some sort of processed hash of 
all the interesting data vs shoving it into a database. Interesting 
product especially if you currently have no central loghost, logwatch, 
monitoring, etc infrastructure. IIRC you can download the demo, runs 
only on Linux at the moment, for free and get a feel for it. Pricing for 
the full package wasn't bad either though I don't remember the exact 
details.
