Splunk 3.2
March, 2008
Splunk is the search engine for IT data.

Splunk can index any data for which it has read access.  If you 
don't give it sufficient privileges, you may not be able to search 
all log files, network ports or database tables.

First time run instructions:
    1. For tarball installations only:
       Edit ./etc/splunk-launch.conf to set the value of 
       $SPLUNK_HOME to this directory.
    2. If you have a Splunk enterprise license, replace 
       ./etc/splunk.license with your license.
    3. Start the server:
       On non-Windows platforms use the command "./bin/splunk start" and 
       follow instructions.
       On Windows, use Start > Programs > Splunk > Splunk start or use the 
       Windows Service Manager to start the splunkd and splunkweb services.
    4. Open http://<hostname>:8000 in a browser. Your hostname 
       and port may vary.
    5. To configure Splunk to run at system startup time, run the 
       command "./splunk enable boot-start". This is not necessary 
       on Windows; Splunk is configured to start at boot time by default. 
       For more information, refer to the help for the boot-start command.
