This is quite a boring and outdated course. The most useful part is the "Forwarding Demo"
By Michael Rutledge on 10/2/2025
Great concise course. As a returning splunk admin in a couple year hiatus this was both a great refresher and also an excellent update on any recent changes. Definitely worth the money.
