Description
Hello and welcome to the Splunk Essentials Course. This course is focused on providing a clear understanding of the basic concepts. There is a connection between the different modules from introducing Splunk with a use case, to understanding the building blocks (Splunk instances and components), deployment, installation and the different ways to use and administer Splunk. The course also includes modules on how to ingest and extract fields from data as well as concepts of Splunk Search Processing Language (SPL). The course is divided into 9 modules with each module having 4-8 slides explaining concepts. Five modules have video demonstrations to enhance your understanding. Each module also contains a multiple choice quiz. The idea is to provide foundational knowledge to ease your Splunk journey. It provides you a platform to easily grow your experience and subsequently gain more knowledge through Splunk Certifications. Your instructor has 15 years of IT industry experience in roles that involve getting actionable insights from different data sources, holds 5 Splunk Certifications and has the ability to transform information into a form that is easy to consume, and provide more clarity. This course is based off ~8 years of direct experience with Splunk, combined with Certifications. The material is organized to demystify Splunk, encourage, and get you going with this very useful centralized log management platform. Beginners and students with some knowledge and experience with Splunk Web will find this course very useful. If your day to day job is not to directly use or administer Splunk, but you're interested in understanding the basic Components and features, this course is helpful as it doesn't dive straight into demonstrations without answering the whys. Good Luck in your Splunk Journey!
