Explore Splunk components, from universal to heavy forwarders, and how indexers store data in buckets. See deployment server, license master, monitoring console, deployer, and cluster master coordinate collection and search.
Learn how Splunk apps and add-ons differ, how apps provide dashboards and source types for log parsing, and deploy your first app through the Splunk base web interface.
Explore Splunk configuration files and directory structure, learn how apps, system, and user directories govern behavior, and grasp file precedence and layering for customization.
Explore how Splunk indexes organize data on the indexer, including main index and underscore internal, underscore audit, underscore introspection, and underscore the fish bucket, enabling fast search and tailored retention.
Explore how Splunk index buckets evolve from hot to warm to cold and to frozen, governed by max buckets, max data size, and retention rules that trigger archive.
Learn the fish bucket concept in Splunk, using CRC, seek address, and seek CRC to track how much a universal forwarder has read into monitored files and prevent duplicates.
install and configure the Universal Forwarder
Configure the universal forwarder to monitor secure* logs in var/log and forward to the indexer with inputs.conf and outputs.conf, ensuring splunk ownership and correct host, index, and source type.
Explore data collection methods in a distributed environment using universal forwarders, syslog, and scripted inputs to feed logs to the indexing tier, with best practices via inputs dot com.
Define a source type before data onboarding to ensure Splunk correctly parses data into events and applies proper event boundaries, with built-in types and apps guiding onboarding.
In this section I will provide an introduction to how to forward the data from the Universal Forwarders in a data consolidation topology as well as in a load balancing fashion. Also, I will introduce the concept of event breaking on the Universal Forwarder to make the universal forwarder aware on where to break the data so the load balancing will happen smoothly.
I am going to get you to the point to be an Expert on Splunk Technology so you are not going to only pass this exam, but also to help you become a subject matter expert in the world of SIEM.
This is a new Splunk course uploaded for the first time as of November 18 2022 with the latest updates from Splunk!
This course is designed specifically for you, and I have divided it into milestones, each milestone starts with a concept on a specific Splunk topic/functionality so you can grasp it and then we end the section with a demo lab. At the end of this course, I walk you through a life scenario where we will simulate different use cases from a customer's perspective and we start building our lab from the design aspect, then we move to the deployment phase and finally we implement those use cases by deploying different apps as well as creation of custom app which are part of the data onboarding process.
The best hands-on labs course for learning Splunk and crack the Splunk enterprise Certified Admin Course, the leader in real-time monitoring, log management, and SIEM (security information and event management).
Your instructor is Saif Al-Shoker, a Splunk Certified core Consultant and Architect with over 10 years of experience in the security domain, 5 years splunking and hold two master degrees.
