I am pretty sure Twitter gets a hufe discount. A company like Twitter is on Splunk platform itself a huge advertisement for more future traditional Fortune 500 companies.

We log >>100TB/day in splunk and get all the discounts. It’s still ridiculously expensive.

Many of the issues presented in the article ring very true. Splunk is pretty amazing for adhoc analysis/threat hunting. However, once you know what you’re looking for the value proposition drops precipitously.

Can you give a ballpark figure? I can’t even begin to imagine how much that costs.

All in (software/hardware/people) ~$1-2k per terabyte of data indexed.

what kind of use case can log 100tb? Do you actually query this data later?

This blog post read a little like an ad itself to be honest.

It probably gave them a 7 figure discount
