Can you help me connect to splunk?  I tried to configure splunk and connect to the splunkbase using the proxy from my environment.  However, when I try to connect to the splunkbase it did not work.

 Could anyone help me?

I need help connecting to splunk

Hello Hopal Grange,

The basic installation for splunk takes about ten minutes, but I will give you this procedure for setting up splunk on the same server as zenoss which will later integrate both of them.

You can thereafter use splunk to connect to a zenoss database on MySQL.

Free version of splunk will allow you the following:

1. Processing only 500 MB per day.
2. No built in security offered but per the Splunk site

You will need to download Splunk link:

When the download is done, Install rpm -Uvh splunk-2.2.3-18173.i386.rpm

Then start Splunk: /opt/splunk/bin/splunk start

Agree to the licensing agreement on the first start up, which will be a bit too long.
Thereafter go to your browser to access the service:

Open your browser, and then go to this link http://host.example.org:8000

Regards

Mahesh Babu
