Sorry for unskillful explanation.

So, Splunk is the right tool for me?
Or do I need to get to the problem from another side?
Or can someone recommend me another tool?

hope for your advice

I want to create predictions (to use some measures of "normal" work) of behavior for some short future time interval depending on data collected in previous long time interval (for different processes).

I want automatically collect data for new added processes to create it's own allerts.

In fact, the destination is to describe "normal" behavior of some nearly-cyclic processes (we hope they have the same trend each day) based on collected data. It is the first step, analysing. Then the second step is to create alerts based on data which was extracted at the first step. That's what we want.

Sure, splunk can be used for statisticas analysis. The big question is if splunk is the right tool for you. It all depends on what you are trying to analyze and what you want to extract from the data.

Is it possible to perform Holt-Winters forecasting algorithm using Splunk, for example?
