Splunk Platform for Beginners Knowledge Workshop

Maximise Uptime. Minimise Risk.

Join us to find out about the Splunk platform for machine data—the digital exhaust created by the systems, technologies, and infrastructure powering modern businesses—to address big data, IT operations, security, and analytics use cases.

The insights gained from machine data can support a wide range of use cases across an organisation and can be enriched with data from other sources. The enterprise machine data fabric shares and provides access to machine data across the organisation to facilitate these insights – Operational Intelligence.

This virtual workshop will also cover Splunk Architecture, taking a look ‘under the hood’ of both clustered and single Splunk instances at the Forwarding, Indexing & Searching tiers, as well as the instances that manage them. Master the back end of the Splunk UI and understand all the moving pieces that make up Splunk.

Agenda

• Introduction to Splunk & a dive into Splunk Architecture – how each component works
• Data input and indexing methods, and how Splunk indexes data
• Searching – how searches are constructed and how to build them up effectively
