Oreilly – Practical Splunk for Beginners, 2nd Edition 2024-7

Practical Splunk for Beginners, 2nd Edition course. In a hands-on approach, this course teaches you how to use the Splunk platform to search, report, and visualize machine-generated data. Splunk is the leading integrated monitoring platform that enables organizations to develop, organize and communicate data insights. With Splunk, you can collect, transmit, and catalog petabyte-scale telemetry data in one central platform. Application developers, site reliability engineers (SRE), DevOps professionals, and security analysts can use Splunk to explore and analyze data in real-time, enabling them to quickly respond to incidents. Splunk’s Search Processing Language (SPL) is the key to Splunk’s data slicing and analysis capabilities. In addition to SPL, Splunk offers a variety of tools such as field mining, lookups, dashboards, and alerts to develop business intelligence using collected data. Despite all the advanced features that Splunk has to offer, beginners often find the platform difficult to learn. This is where this well-designed and user-oriented training course comes to your aid.

What you will learn:

• How to create business intelligence from machine-generated data and then visualize it using Splunk Dashboard Studio.
• Use several examples and demonstrations to learn the most practical features, such as using field extraction tools, grouping events, using separate external lookups, generating statistics, configuring alerts, scheduling searches, and developing dashboards.
• Gain valuable knowledge and skills to create complex SPL queries, understand queries written by others, and improve dashboard performance.
• The real-world examples presented in this course (eg, HTTP latency and error analysis of a web application) allow students to make an immediate impact in their organizations.

This course is suitable for people who:

• They work in IT operations and need to use Splunk to monitor and troubleshoot their applications and infrastructure.
• Developers and architects of applications that need to analyze application log files.
• Security professionals who use Splunk as a security information and event management (SIEM) platform can benefit from this course.
