Things to do with splunk

[prakash86]

Hello All,
I am new to splunk. I have a question which I forwarded to splunk team for technical help but they didn't respond so I wish to ask here.
Is it possible for someone to create dashboards on splunk and share over internet with clients? let's say we have data and client needs insights on a real time dash board.
If yes, can someone kindly point out how is it possible. Do one need to buy enterprise version of splunk or install it on client's machine and then create dashboard there?
Splunk no doubt looks fascinating but I would like to know how much flexibility is being given to end user.
I hope to get guidance from you all. 🙂
Thank you so much in advance!

Yes, you can share a dashboard in a couple of ways. One is to write some code behind a web page; the other is to use a feature called "embedded reports." Embedded reports are very simple to set up, but they do not update in real time. The entity that has the data is the one who needs to purchase a Splunk license - anyone can look at the web page.

Read some of the basic information that is available about Splunk, and then ask more questions:

Exploring Splunk - this is a great book and the electronic version is free. It has some good info on "what you can do with Splunk."

Learn how to Use Splunk - this web page has links to videos, documentation, tutorials and classes (free and paid).
