title: Splunk log data optimization
body: <p>I am new to Splunk and I wish to optimize the log data files (do a lossless compression) that I will add to splunk. Since the data has to be textual (not binary or any other format), I cannot go for huffman coding etc, and don't know where to start from.</p>
  
  <p>Any help/idea would be great.</p>
