Michael Camp Bentley generously advised me about various technical aspects of my new art business model. He went above and beyond to help. I highly recommend Michael Camp Bentley as a genius tech resource, and as a genuinely nice person.

After going through issues with expired certs for our Splunk environment, I stumbled upon Michael's Splunk SSL Certificate Checker add-on. It helped U.S. CBP in monitoring our SSL certs. His add-on was also very easy to configure and took no time to finish the config. Even better was that it came with a dashboard that can be used to monitor your certs expiration date - this made it easy to modify the search to alert you on any certs that will expire within X days. Thanks again Michael for answering my questions in Slack.

The Webtools add-on for Splunk has enabled me to pull in any data from multiple instances of Phantom and analyze it inline of SPL without indexing it. The custom curl SPL command is invaluable for making RESTful calls to any web service. The Webtools add-on has saved me a great deal of time and enabled me to get data into Splunk in a unique way.
