What's New in Splunk 2.1
Home Page
- Saved Splunks are now listed on the home page, just like Live Splunks.
- Host tags, a new feature, are displayed next to their corresponding host names.
- If the server has no events indexed, the home page will explain how to set up data inputs through the new Guided Setup feature.
Search Results
- The search results page has been redesigned to be more legible.
- The results page tabs are different:
- The Tags tab is gone.
- A Servers tab will appear if the search results include events from multiple servers in a Splunk-2-Splunk configuration.
Tags
- Hosts can be tagged, just like event types. Host tags also appear on the home page.
- The Tags tab on the search results page is gone. Instead, the Host and Event Type tabs on search results pages each have an option to view by tag. This option appears if and only if there are tags present in the current search results.
Admin Panels
- Many more configuration options have been added to the Admin web interface.
- Data input configurations are now displayed in detail, and can be edited directly in the web interface.
- A Guided Setup option provides step-by-step first time configuration, as shown below.
Splunk-2-Splunk
- Distributed Search lets users search across multiple servers.
- A Servers tab appears on search results pages if there are events from multiple servers in the current search results.
- Users can login to multiple Splunk Server sat once. They must have the same username and password on each Splunk Server.
Saved Splunks & Live Splunks
- Saved Splunks now appear on the home page, just like Live Splunks.
- New schedule options for Live Splunks allow precise scheduling in latency-prone environments.
Time Range Selection
- A new relative time range selector widget allows more precise control of time boundaries.
This time range selector is set to show events from 3 days ago for a duration of 12 hours
