Project Overview

        This project demonstrates a full Splunk Enterprise deployment in a containerized environment. By running Splunk inside Docker on my personal server, I can monitor system performance, log files, and hosted applications without affecting the host system. Dashboards provide real-time insights and analytics accessible through the browser on port 8000.

Docker Deployment

• Splunk Enterprise runs in a Docker container for isolated, easy setup.

Log Collection

• Splunk collects system files (/var/log/) and indexes them in real time.

Dashboard Visualization

• Prebuilt dashboards provide CPU, memory, disk, and network analytics.

Deployment

• Splunk runs on Ubuntu via system service and is accessible on port 8000.

Integration

• Monitors the same server hosting my portfolio and other personal apps, enabling centralized analytics.

Project Features

• 📊 Real-Time Monitoring: Track CPU, memory, disk usage, and system logs live.
