Overview of this book
Splunk is a search, reporting, and analytics software platform for machine data, which has an ever-growing market adoption rate. More organizations than ever are adopting Splunk to make informed decisions in areas such as IT operations, information security, and the Internet of Things.
The first two chapters of the book will get you started with a simple Splunk
installation and set up of a sample machine data generator, called Eventgen.
After this, you will learn to create various reports, dashboards, and alerts. You will
also explore Splunk's Pivot functionality to model data for business users. You
will then have the opportunity to test-drive Splunk's powerful HTTP Event Collector. After covering the core Splunk functionality, you'll be provided with some real-world best practices for using Splunk, and information on how to build upon what you've learned in this book.
Throughout the book, there will be additional comments and best practice
recommendations from a member of the SplunkTrust Community, called
