Practical Splunk for beginners: Introduction
- Welcome to Practical Splunk for Beginners Live Lessons. These lessons help you to get started on using the Splunk platform, the market leader in data intelligence using machine generated data. I am Karun Subramanian. I'm a Splunk Certified Architect, and an IT Operations Expert. I have been helping organizations of all sizes modernize their IT operations by utilizing observability on site reliability engineering techniques. I'm the author of the book "Practical Splunk Search Processing Language." In these lessons, you'll learn the practical techniques to make the best use of the Splunk platform, and your mission generated data. You'll see plenty of examples demonstrated in a live Splunk system. The first lesson introduces the Splunk platform by explaining what Splunk is, and how it is used in organizations. This lesson also provides instructions on how to install Splunk. We also learn what is new in Splunk 9, the latest major version of Splunk enterprise. The next lesson provides you an introduction to SPL, the Search Processing Language, which is the core of Splunk platform. I also walk you through the Splunk web interface, the primary interface to the Splunk platform. With the basics out of the way, we dive right into producing data intelligence using Splunk. Lesson three is all about creating statistics. It explains critical SPL commands, such as stats, eval, and time chart using plenty of examples. The next lesson walks you through how to extract fields, the backbone of SPL from your machine data. You'll learn the Field Extraction Wizard, and the all powerful Rex command in this lesson. In the next lesson, you learn how to group, and correlate data as well as techniques to implement lookups, a powerful Splunk feature that enables you to enhance search results using external data that is not indexed in Splunk. Having learned how to search, and create statistics effectively, you'll learn how to create reports in the next lesson. Reports enable you to save your searches so you don't have to retype your SPL queries every time you need to run the search. You also learn how to schedule reports, and create Splunk alerts, a key element of effective IT operations. Next, the dashboard lesson shows you how to create effective dashboards with just a few clicks. It shows you how to add interactivity to your dashboards by creating drilldowns, and input panels such as dropdown boxes. You are going to be amazed when you see how easy is it to create stunning visualizations, and share them with others. Last but not the least, the dashboard Studio lesson teaches you how to create beautiful dashboards using Splunk Dashboard Studio. Splunk Dashboard Studio is the new way of creating dashboards in Splunk. You learn the basics of Dashboard Studio, and understand the key differences between the classic dashboards, and the Dashboard Studio. You also learn how to create dashboards with interactivity and drilldown capabilities in Dashboard Studio. Thank you for choosing my course over other resources to learn Splunk. Let's get started.
