Implementing Splunk: Big Data Reporting and Development for Operational Intelligence

About the Author

Vincent Bumgarner has been designing software for nearly 20 years, working in many languages on nearly as many platforms. He started using Splunk in 2007 and has enjoyed watching the product evolve over the years.

While working for Splunk, he helped many companies, training dozens of users to drive, extend, and administer this extremely flexible product. At least one person at every company he worked with asked for a book on Splunk, and he hopes his effort helps fill their shelves.

I would like to thank my wife and kids as this book could not have happened without their support. A big thank you to all of the reviewers for contributing their time and expertise, and special thanks to SplunkNinja for the recommendation.
