What problem does it solve?
Splunk log analysis is time-consuming and manual. This Skill provides a structured approach to quickly analyze logs using SPL, extract patterns, and surface root causes.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Statistics-first investigation: Compute totals, error rates, and top patterns to guide triage.
- Pattern discovery & correlation: Identify common error messages, affected services, and high-risk sourcetypes.
- Interactive quick-starts: Run scripted commands to gather context, filter by index/sourcetype/host, and reproduce incidents.
- Use Case: Investigate a spike in errors in the main index and surface the top error patterns and impacted hosts.
Quick Start
Run the statistics script to establish context: python scripts/get_statistics.py --time-range 60 --index main
Then sample logs to surface anomalies: python scripts/sample_logs.py --strategy errors_only --index main
Review the top patterns and hosts from the outputs to drive remediation.
