You’ll also learn how to install Splunk Enterprise or Splunk Cloud, configure settings, and verify the installation.

Next, you’ll explore Splunk Forwarders, learning how to install and configure them to send data to Splunk indexers. This is followed by a deep dive into Splunk Indexes, where you’ll learn how to create, manage, and optimize indexes for better data performance. The Splunk Search section focuses on mastering search commands, creating searches, saved searches, and using search fields effectively.

The course also covers building Splunk Dashboards, teaching you how to create dashboards, add and configure panels, and use dashboard variables for dynamic data presentation. In the Splunk Alerts module, you’ll learn how to create alerts based on search results, configure notifications, and manage alert rules.

You’ll also dive into Splunk Apps, where you’ll learn how to create, install, and customize apps to extend Splunk’s functionality. The Advanced Topics section covers key tools like Splunk Enterprise Security, the Splunk Machine Learning Toolkit, and the Splunk App for Infrastructure, along with an overview of the Splunk Cloud Platform.

Finally, the course includes practical examples and case studies on centralized log management, security monitoring, application performance monitoring, and web analytics, offering hands-on experience in applying Splunk to real-world scenarios.
