Splunk Free Version for small company

Hello 

I work for a company with max 12 workstations to monitor, and we only want to log critical logs from these stations. Is Splunk Free a good option?

Hi @kmm1,

if you ask the innkeeper if the wine is good you will always get the same answer: excellent and abundant!

joking aside, the first thing to check is whether 500 MB/day is enough for you: as long as you have logs from a firewall or a proxy and you certainly exceed this limit.

In addition, Splunk Free lacks some important features such as system login.

So I recommend you analyze your daily indexed log volume requirements and see how much a Splunk Cloud solution would cost you which I don't think is that expensive for small volumes.

Ciao.

Giuseppe
