Splunk’s Architecture Reliability and Commitment to Excellence Each data store has a set authorization which will then guide the end user’s views and access. This can be accessed from the Splunk CLI (Command Line Interface), web interface or in proprietary interfaces using Rest API. It enables users to perform searches, analyze data, set alerts, and visualize functionality via dashboards. Search Heads: This is where users interact with the Splunk interface.Indexers: Indexers process the incoming data, then store it so it can be searched and accessed quickly and efficiently based on parameters set forth in the installation.Forwarders include a load balancing methodology. Communicator machines are any application, server, or device integrated into the platform. Forwarding Tier: The forwarder collects data from communicator machines, compiles a data set, and queues data forwarding.
Splunk Architecture – a peek behind the curtainīut what makes Splunk tick? How do we get from a massive amount of data into meaningful data arrays? What gives the Splunk the ability to generate powerful business intelligence to its users?
Splunk’s proprietary algorithm architecture delivers actionable insights to derive value from Big Data. With Splunk you have access to real-time dashboards, graphs and visualizations used in security, compliance, application management, and business analytics.
