Courses
-
Master advanced Splunk administration and build the practical skills to configure, monitor, and optimize data management across distributed environments. You’ll set up deployment servers and clients, create and distribute deployment apps, and automate forwarder configuration through centralized server classes. You’ll trace machine data from input through parsing and indexing, configure parsing rules, and monitor ingestion with checkpoints and metadata fields. Using the Splunk Monitoring Console, you’ll assess forwarder health, system performance, and data throughput. You’ll also configure file and directory monitoring, multi-line log handling, host overrides, blacklists, and rate limiting to support efficient input management. As you progress, you’ll manage data forwarding, queue hierarchies, index configurations, persistent queues, load balancing, and indexer acknowledgment to improve data integrity and reliability during network disruptions. You’ll also implement scripted, Windows, and agentless inputs using custom scripts, command-line tools, Event Log, Perfmon, and PowerShell. Designed for IT professionals and Splunk administrators, this course combines structured instruction with real-world configurations and operational insights. Enroll to develop the skills to deploy, troubleshoot, and fine-tune scalable Splunk environments for reliable enterprise data operations.

Master Splunk fundamentals and build practical skills in analyzing, visualizing, and correlating machine-generated data. You’ll begin by exploring Splunk’s role in Operational Intelligence, installing and configuring Splunk Enterprise, managing applications, and setting up data inputs. You’ll then navigate Splunk Web and use Search Processing Language (SPL) commands to search, filter, transform, and organize event data. As you progress, you’ll apply statistical functions to calculate counts, sums, averages, and distinct values; create reports and dashboards; and turn search results into line, area, pie, scatter, gauge, and single-value visualizations. You’ll also use trendlines, totals, cluster maps, eval expressions, conditional logic, filtering, and transaction options to enrich results, monitor KPIs, identify sessions, and uncover complex event patterns. Designed for learners who want practical Splunk skills for IT operations, security monitoring, or business insights, this course combines structured lessons with quizzes, exercises, and real-world use cases. By the end, you’ll be able to optimize searches, analyze machine data, build meaningful dashboards, and correlate events to support data-driven decisions. Its progression from setup and SPL essentials to advanced analytics and event correlation makes it a focused, hands-on path to professional Splunk application.
-
Turn raw Splunk event data into structured, reusable insights with advanced knowledge objects. In this course, you’ll learn to manage knowledge object permissions, enrich events with static, automatic, and time-based lookups, and extract searchable fields using regular expressions and delimiters. You’ll also create GET, POST, and search workflow actions that connect event data with contextual searches and external resources. As you progress, you’ll use tags and event types to classify data, design alerts with trigger conditions and automated actions, and schedule reports for recurring searches. You’ll develop dashboards in XML or HTML, build reusable Splunk macros with arguments, and construct hierarchical data models with enriched attributes and transactions. Finally, you’ll use accelerated data models, pivot tables, and visualizations to interpret data without writing SPL. Designed for data analysts, security professionals, and IT operations specialists who want to move beyond basic Splunk searches, this course develops practical skills for faster investigations, operational intelligence, and informed decision-making. Its progressive, modular structure takes you from knowledge object foundations to advanced data models and pivot analytics, helping you apply Splunk effectively to scalable, real-world business use cases.
-
Master Splunk indexing and data management through practical configuration exercises and real-world administrative examples. You’ll learn how Splunk stores, manages, and retains indexed data, then configure indexes, optimize storage, verify data integrity, and implement retention policies that support performance throughout the data lifecycle. You’ll also interpret monitoring metrics, assess indexing activity, create backup and restoration processes, and safely remove or restore data while maintaining system stability. To secure your environment, you’ll configure index-level access, user roles, role inheritance, and capabilities. You’ll work with native authentication, LDAP integration, SSO, reverse proxy authentication, and scripted authentication to control access across distributed systems. Finally, you’ll install and configure Splunk universal forwarders, manage connections remotely, implement load balancing, and use indexer acknowledgment to improve data reliability and availability. Designed for IT professionals, system administrators, and data engineers, this course combines modular instruction, step-by-step demonstrations, and practical examples. Enroll to build the skills to design, deploy, secure, and maintain Splunk environments with dependable indexing, controlled access, efficient data ingestion, and reliable performance.
