1
00:00:03,620 --> 00:00:05,630
In our previous videos.

2
00:00:06,450 --> 00:00:11,960
We have understood what is Splunk, how it works, what are the components, how search performs?

3
00:00:11,970 --> 00:00:15,720
We will see now how licensing in Splunk works.

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,250
Licensing in Splunk is quite different than any other product.

5
00:00:20,250 --> 00:00:25,920
The license is based on data ingested into Splunk per day.

6
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:29,070
When I say per day, it is not like last 24 hours.

7
00:00:29,100 --> 00:00:30,420
It is per day.

8
00:00:30,450 --> 00:00:34,410
That is from 12 midnight to the next day to midnight.

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:43,600
The license is, for example, measured as ten GB per day or 100 GB per day.

10
00:00:44,480 --> 00:00:48,410
And it can range up to ten GB to a couple of TB per day.

11
00:00:48,650 --> 00:00:57,860
The size of Splunk license is the data that has been processed by Splunk and stored in Splunk.

12
00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:01,640
Within a span of one complete day.

13
00:01:02,450 --> 00:01:07,870
That is all the Splunk charges or Splunk licensing works.

14
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,240
There are three different types of licenses.

15
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:19,310
One is the free license, which we have seen in our earlier parts of tutorial, where when we download

16
00:01:19,310 --> 00:01:25,100
a package, we get a 500 MP per day license for a period of 60 days.

17
00:01:25,700 --> 00:01:33,470
The second one is the Splunk developer license, which is ten GB per day, and also if you develop an

18
00:01:33,470 --> 00:01:35,450
app and submit it to the portal.

19
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:43,980
Once it is verified or published, you will get pre-approval of 50 GB license per day, which you can

20
00:01:43,980 --> 00:01:46,110
use it to learn or explore.

21
00:01:46,140 --> 00:01:46,890
Splunk.

22
00:01:46,890 --> 00:01:52,140
And the later part, we'll see how we can get Splunk developer license so that we can use it for our

23
00:01:52,140 --> 00:01:53,790
own learning purposes.

24
00:01:53,790 --> 00:01:59,760
Probably you can go ahead and create your own enterprise Splunk environment in the Amazon Cloud.

25
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:09,670
The third one is the Splunk license, Enterprise License, which is a commercial version of Splunk licensing,

26
00:02:09,670 --> 00:02:12,130
which most of the organizations are using.

27
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,090
It ranges from ten GB to probably petabytes per day.

28
00:02:16,780 --> 00:02:24,910
Those kind of scenarios and the licensing cost, if you see the cost, it is like if I buy one GB per

29
00:02:24,910 --> 00:02:27,190
day, it might cost me $1,000.

30
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,350
Yes, $1,000.

31
00:02:29,350 --> 00:02:31,830
But if you go this is just a rough estimate.

32
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,340
This is not the actual figure.

33
00:02:33,370 --> 00:02:36,920
So it might cost up to like $1,000 per GB.

34
00:02:36,940 --> 00:02:42,110
So if I go for ten GB, it might cost me $9,000.

35
00:02:42,310 --> 00:02:48,820
There is a discount of 10%, so the more licence you buy, the cost reduces per GB.

36
00:02:48,850 --> 00:02:50,620
Just as the information.
