Splunk is an enterprise-class machine data gathering and analysis tool, capable of consuming 100s of gigabytes of machine generated data and turning it into arbitrarily searchable data and presenting it with fancy reports and graphs. I’ve used Splunk in the past for a project and another time to do post-mortem [...]
What is SNMP? When I got my NXT2WIFI sensor from Daniele I was quite sure what I wanted to make with it: an SNMP agent. What is an SNMP agent, you say? SNMP, short for Simple Network Management Protocol, is a protocol that, as you may have guessed by now, [...]
