A hands-on approach to learning the Splunk platform to search, report, and visualize machine-generated data. Splunk is the market-leading platform for unified observability, enabling organizations to develop, organize, and communicate data insights. Using Splunk, you can collect, transport, and index peta-byte scale telemetry data in a centralized platform. Application developers, SREs, DevOps professionals, and security analysts can use Splunk to explore and analyze data in real time, empowering them to respond to incidents rapidly. The Splunk Search Processing Language (SPL) is the secret to Splunks capabilities in slicing and dicing the data. In addition to SPL, Splunk provides versatile tools such as field extractions, lookups, dashboards, and alerts to develop intelligence using the data collected. With all the sophisticated features offered by Splunk, beginners usually find the platform difficult to learn. That is where this well-designed and user-oriented course comes in.
