Course Description
It's time for you to learn how to navigate Splunk and dominate big data!
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.

since I do not have any background knowledge about SOC but it is pretty understandable what tom is doing here. as well as I would prefer more visuals demonstration while explaining the terminologies for much better understanding.

This was a great class. Your later sections provided me with some great things to add to my environment that I didn't know existed.
By Bridgette Chamberlain on 5/31/2022
I wish I knew going in that it would've been better to use the AWS environment. I initially had one available but decided I wouldn't need it after installing my own Splunk. On the pos, it was a good learning experience generating my own firewall logs for Splunk to ingest. The only downside to not having a public instance was that I did not have much for geostats (City, Country) without pinging various DNSs to populate my logs. Great overall course. I feel better for having gone through it.

Good course for beginners
By Elad Cohen on 6/25/2020
Very very basic course and it is unbelievable that a 9 min video deals with tables will only explain 2 minutes on tables.
By James Williams on 6/22/2020
Good overall... I was looking for details on index clustering.
By Anonymized User on 6/19/2020
Interesting, but my goal is not to build infrastructures. I need to optimize searches, dashboards, etc... So this session is not the best I could choice.
