[LOPSA-US-AZ] Fwd: Apr ES meeting topics

[Shawn Badger]

I am just forwarding this to the list because the Splunk presentation may
interest many of the admins on the list. The software is being presented at
the PLUG meeting, but it it isn't specific to Linux (it also works for
Windows). Also, I personally think this tool can be a god send for
troubleshooting problems across multiple platforms with the log correlation
abilities.
