Summary

We have touched upon a wide variety of subjects in this chapter, each of which possibly deserves a chapter of its own. Maybe that will be the next book.

We talked about the different purposes of Splunk instances, how to collect data from a variety of sources, how to install the Splunk binary, how to size your indexers, and how to manage the configuration of many instances, and finally, we touched upon a few advanced deployment topics.

In our final chapter, we will write some code to extend Splunk in a variety of ways.
