Boot IO Analysis with uberAgent for Splunk 1.5
Analyzing slow boots is a difficult task. You need to install software like XPerf and master its far-from-intuitive command-line options to generate a trace file that you can then analyze. Once you find a possible cause for the long startup duration you never know if it is specific to the machine you analyzed or if it affects other PCs, too. In other words: XPerf, although powerful, is difficult to master. And it does not scale. uberAgent does. And it is super-easy to use.
