We're looking for a solution that will help us do many different things:
Analyze outages (the logs that preceded the failure and help us analyze why it happened)
Notify of outages (email notifications when a server fails, for instance)
Track file changes (which user deleted a file or folder with a timestamp)
Most of our environment is virtual, but can the Splunk App for VMWare also monitor physical machines?
We also want a solution that doesn't take a lot of configuration and tweaking. We are the helpdesk as well as all other aspects of IT, so we need to be available to help our end users when they need us.
I appreciate feedback on whether or not Splunk will help us accomplish what we're looking to get set up.
