Stepping Up with Splunk!

“Surround yourself with the dreamers and the doers, the believers and thinkers, but most of all, surround yourself with those who see greatness within you, even when you don’t see it in yourself.” –Edmund Lee

 

Splunk is an extremely versatile application, dissecting everything from a small csv file to multiple terabytes of data. I am a member of Function1’s Wellness Team as well as a part of the OI Practice. This year, the Wellness Team has decided to revamp itself and I thought Splunk would be a great tool to utilize to track our progress and feedback from...


Managing AngularJS Content within Oracle WebCenter Sites

There are a multitude of reasons organizations will turn to a content management system, but the underlying goal is the same across the board: Managing your content in an organized way.  The examples that first come to mind include managing assets such as page titles, articles, images, but what happens when a more complex asset is introduced like an AngularJS widget?

For my client, we wanted to be able to see permission users had, active users, top all users, and what authentication system was being used. The REST API was perfect for this!

 

So we wanted when the user logged on to...


Brand New: Introducing Function1's New Logo

Since its inception in 2007, Function1 has been represented by two logos, most recently one that lasted us for the past six years. Our previous logo served us well over those six years, but during that time we have been lucky enough to grow and evolve, leaving our logo feeling dated and disconnected with the Function1 of today. At the end of the summer of 2015, we embarked on a rebranding mission, one that we hoped would result in a new logo that more closely aligned with Function1 as we know it.

Every Click You Make, Splunk is Watching You…

 

When I am at client sites I often get asked how they can get a better understanding of what is going on in their Splunk environment. A recent client wanted to understand what dashboards were being used the most in their environment and who were the top users. What a great thought! I knew that Splunk had to have a way to track this. It was just a matter of locating the data and then determining the best way to pull it.
