Data Models are one of the major underpinnings of Splunk’s power and flexibility. They’re the only way to benefit from the powerful pivot command, for example. They underlie Splunk Enterprise Security (probably the biggest “non-core” use of Splunk amongst all their customers). Key to achieving peak performance from Splunk Data Models, though, is that they…
