SplunkIt

SplunkIt is a performance benchmark kit designed to provide a simplified set of performance measurements for Splunk. If you are a Splunk administrator that wants to perform a straightforward benchmark of your hardware setup, this is the tool for you. The kit creates a small dataset comprised of syslog events (50 GB) that can be leveraged for measuring the following performance characteristics: -indexing throughput -search response time *Note that this kit is not an exhaustive performance benchmarking toolkit as it does not cover multi-user scenarios, concurrent/streaming workloads, distributed environments, and objective hardware measurements.
