No.

Proxmox VE can be a very good replacement for many circumstances.

I've worked with both systems quite a bit, and really like them both. The licensing obviously makes ELK a no-brainer for my personal use. But, to be fair to Splunk the average required knowledge for their end-user is significantly lower. For the crowd poking around here it seems obvious that ELK is the right choice, but when I am unleashing a team of helpdesk techs on a set of data I would probably have a much more nuanced consideration about the tools.

I'm kind of pointing out the obvious, but it's my two cents for whatever they're worth.

I am running a monolithic installation in a container (1 core, 4gb ram) that is being hosted by an intel NUC. I'm taking in about 100k records a day from 10-12 syslog sources and have no trouble with slow downs at all. (I do almost 0 processing of the incoming data, however.) I think I could lower the containers ram allocation to 2gb... maybe.

I haven't tried aggregating a years worth of data into a single search, but for reasonable log troubleshooting everything is going well.

This might be late, or a topic no one wants to bring up, but I am supremely pleased to hear your voice in these parts again. Thank you for contributing.

Exacerbating this is the fact that Windows 7 is arguably at full stride right now and has almost no points that I really want changed. Why then do I give myself (actually, pay for) a headache with this new release?

A corollary to this service, on OSX and only for pdf, is to put the OS CUPS print driver to use. I've always been impressed with how well the print -> save as pdf functionality works on OS X. Recently I needed to batch it for text files and looked up the specifics. (It works for html as well, just save your sites procedurally and batch.)

/System/Library/Printers/Libraries/convert -f infile -o outfile

As stated somewhere in the comments this service is probably aimed at people on remote machines, but the above has been a handy trick for my local life.

I'm sure equivalents exist on Windows (PDFcreator comes to mind) and Linux.

I will! =)

I just checked my comment history and about 50% of my comments have been related to this issue. This is the first one that is complimentary.

I think you are misrepresenting this.

I clicked on a news announcement for a product that I currently know very little about and this will be my first engagement with ANYTHING they have published. Would their impression on me be better if I get a giant white screen, or if I get a note saying that their page requires javascript?

Regardless of my engagement with the product, it is certainly a bad assumption to say that everyone blocking javascript is not a potential customer.

In case anyone from square is reading this - you're page loads absolutely 0 content with JS disabled. Just some feedback, take it or leave it.

I may be outside of the normal use case here, and absolutely I am giving my opinion so judge it as one voice in 255 million (or whatever gmail's user count is now), but this isn't ever faster for me. I always have a gmail tab open.

As to remembering the source of a piece information, I made no claim to be perfect at this. What I will claim is that for the 95% of the time that I DO know the source of a piece of information I will be annoyed by results that are not from my intended search space.

Obviously Google has a pretty good track record at returning relevant results, but I can still hope for an off/on switch.

I specifically use the web search bar, instead of the gmail search bar, because I want web results.

This strikes me as an enormous case of optimizing for users that search for google.com in the web search bar. Maybe people do get confused around which search space they are accessing - I certainly do not. I really hope this either stays in beta forever, or at least has a toggle in the account settings to disable it.

Just a heads up, if the creator is reading here, your page loads 0 content with javascript blocked. A minimal plea for javascript unblocking might gain you extra traffic - I know I didn't care enough to add you to my whitelist, since I had NOTHING to go on.

Several years ago I was a programmer for a small gaming firm. I spent 3 weeks working closely with the producer at our publisher and one of the tricks he told me about in their QA process was they they would hedge their costs by submitting their games to MS before they had finished internal QA. This would essentially allow them to obtain free QA time from a very large external group. (console QA is usually better than PC, so a multi-platform release would push the xbox version first to maximize the effect.) I think it came up because the certification fees for releasing on the 360 were just being raised to free first check, $40,000 each time there-after.
