Splunk 3.0 Beta
May 2007
Splunk is the search engine for IT data.
Splunk can index any data for which it has read access. If you
don't give it sufficient privileges, you may not be able to search
all log files, network ports or database tables.
First time run instructions:
1. For tarball installations only:
a. Edit the file ./bin/setSplunkEnv to set the value of
$SPLUNK_HOME to this directory.
b. Follow the instructions in ./etc/init.d/README to set
up Splunk to start at boot.
2. If you have a Splunk Professional license, replace
./etc/splunk.license with your license.
3. Start the server with the command "./bin/splunk start" and
follow instructions.
