@jjesse I'm just a dev, I use splunk not manage it. Little out of the loop.

@Sempf i don't either, but have some friends impacted by the aquisition
Show threadBillMar 25
@jjesse It's a small community, of that there is no doubt. I'm honestly surprised I didn't know.

@Sempf @jjesse Purchased for about $28B. I remember the joke at the time was it being unclear if Cisco was buying them or just renewing their Splunk license.

@clueax @jjesse Heh. That's pretty good.

@Sempf yeah they bought them like 2 years ago. I was surprised given splunk was already public.
Show threadBillMar 25
@winterknight1337 Yeah I thought it was open source? I dunno I just use the APIs.
Show threadWinterKnight Mar 25
@Sempf nope. It’s been a paid service from the beginning, they just have a free tier.

@winterknight1337 Huh. Fair nuff. TIL.
