Description

Originally a log aggregation and analytics tool, Splunk has evolved in to a market-leading "machine data" analytics platform, ready for research applications with Machine Learning (ML) and commonly used as a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution. Develop reports and dashboards; build alerts and launch automated responses.

Cost

Splunk is charged monthly, but pricing is based on daily ingest of data @ $72/GB. If daily ingest is 1 GB, basic service price will be $72/month. Default retention period is 90 days. Incentives (from Security) and enhancements (for example, longer retention) are available. For more information, visit the Splunk Service Pricing page.
