How do you perform data analysis for Splunk? I'm told there are no traditional DBs in Splunk - do you install non-relational DBs like mongoDB and configure it to connect to your Splunk instances/environments?

Could you please explain what is meant by "data analysis for Splunk" because I don't understand why one would perform data analysis on a data analysis tool. You are correct in that Splunk does not use a traditional database - it stores data in a proprietary format. It is possible to connect Splunk to a relational database to read data, though.

Splunk is a data analysis tool
What use case(s) are you trying to solve that you think it should be/have a database?
