Splunk
Splunk is a search engine that indexes and lets you search, navigate, alert, and report on data from any application, server, or network device. It lets you securely access logs, configurations, scripts and code, messages, traps and alerts, activity reports, stack traces, and metrics across thousands of components from one place in real time. This data can include Apache logs, Sendmail logs, J2EE events, custom application logs, configuration files, or any other type of file that a sysadmin or developer will need to examine on a regular basis.

Changes: Search strings can now contain variables that are rendered as form elements in the SplunkWeb interface. When used with saved searches, inexperienced users can search efficiently without knowing the details of the search language. This feature simplifies searching by asking the user to input exactly the parameters sought, instead of a complete and potentially complex search. As part of a general effort to simplify the search language, equal signs can now be used where double colons were required.
