Course Description
Are your log files attempting to overthrow you? Have you heard of Splunk, but don't know how to wield it for the greater good of your data, or that of your enterprise? Have you used Splunk, but want to learn how to set it up and build it out properly? If so, this class is for you.
In this course, Tom will be teaching you how to get started with Splunk from the ground up. You'll learn the basics of Splunk terminology, along with how to use the Splunk web interface to find the data you're looking for. You'll build your own Splunk environment, add and normalize data to the Common Information Model (CIM), create dashboards, and find events in your data. Finally, you'll gain some more advanced searching techniques that will be particularly beneficial to those in network, security, and system administration roles.
This course is unique in that it does not require you to have a pre-existing Splunk environment - you'll actually be building and administering the Splunk system you will use to complete the lab activities.
Who this course is for:
Anyone looking to get started with Splunk administration.
If you have used Splunk for searching but have never brought in data or installed the software.
Individuals responsible for administering a Splunk environment but don't have much experience with running this software.
