Maybe you've heard about Splunk, but don't know how to use it to take control of big data? Have you used Splunk, but want to learn how to set it up and use it properly? If so, this course is for you.
In this course, you will work with Splunk from the ground up. You'll learn the basics of Splunk terminology, and how to use the Splunk web interface to find data. You'll also build your own Splunk environment, add data to the Common Information Model (CIM), create dashboards, and find events within data. Finally, you'll master advanced searching techniques that are especially useful to those in network, security, and system administration roles.
