Splunk Fundamentals

Master machine data analysis. Learn to search, correlate, and visualize logs using Splunk's SPL language for IT Operations and Security.

Splunk is the Google for your machine data. This course teaches you to ingest logs from servers and networks, and search them using the Search Processing Language (SPL). You will learn to correlate events to find security breaches or system failures, build real-time alerts, and design executive dashboards. This is a critical skill for Cyber Security analysts (SIEM) and DevOps engineers monitoring infrastructure health.
