Splunk has a robust search functionality which enables you to search the entire data set that is ingested. This feature is accessed through the app named as Search & Reporting which can be seen in the left side bar after logging in to the web interface.
Another common question is “What is splunk query?”.
A Splunk query uses the software’s Search Processing Language to communicate with a database or source of data. This allows data users to perform analysis of their data by querying it.
Splunk is a software used to search and analyze machine data. This machine data can come from web applications, sensors, devices or any data created by user. It serves the needs of IT infrastructure by analyzing the logs generated in various processes but it can also analyze any structured or semi-structured data with proper data modelling.
Another inquiry we ran across in our research was “What is redundant in Splunk search?”.
You see, It’s always redundant in search, so although Splunk doesn’t give you an error, you can always remove it when you see it in the initial search clause, or in a subsequent search command downstream. Another way of looking at this is that Splunk mentally puts an “AND” in between any two terms where there isn’t an OR.
What is the difference between Splunk index and SQL?
A Splunk index is a collection of data, somewhat like a database has a collection of tables. Domain knowledge of that data, how to extract it, what reports to run, etc, are stored in a Splunk application. SQL is designed to search relational database tables which are comprised of columns.
How do I add new values to a Splunk query?
First, you can just add the new values to your Splunk deployment (see INSERT INTO) and not worry about deleting the old values, because Splunk software always returns the most recent results first. Second, on retrieval, you can always de-duplicate the results to ensure only the latest values are used (see SELECT DISTINCT).
