Integrating TA-Nix with Splunk App for Infrastructure

Previous articles in our series have introduced the Splunk App for Infrastructure (SAI) and provided getting-started guidance for Linux and Windows using native metric-collection tools such as collectd and perfmon. But did you know you can also use your existing Splunk Universal Forwarders (UF’s), together with the Splunk Add-on for Unix and Linux (TA-Nix) to send both the metrics and logs without the need of additional agents?

How to analyze IIS logs for better monitoring

Log analysis helps organizations determine the best way to optimize application functionality while giving development teams a leg up in root cause analysis. With that said, it’s not feasible to scroll through thousands of lines of log entries in a text editor. Instead, development teams need modern tools that enable them to centralize, filter, and analyze their logs in a way that allows them to glean valuable insights in a time-efficient manner.
