Where can i get some sample data to test Splunk ITSI Features?

RomeSplunk123 — Fri, 25 Dec 2020 17:58:34 GMT

Hi I am trying to evaluate Splunk in context of all the features that it has to offer.... I downloaded the demo, but the thing is there is no data for me to test out the features to see how unified dashboard looks like, is there a good reference link where you can point me to where I can get some sample data to infuse into Splunk to test it's ITSI capabilities?

thanks for responding, do you happen to know where can I try this Splunk Oxygen, is there a link? Also is there ITSI in it or just regular Splunk? @gcusello would you happen to know?

Hi @RomeSplunk123,

Splunk Oxygen is a demo environment available only for the Sales Engineers.

I did this certification only to have Oxygen that's a fantastic environment for demos and sees how most products work.

Ciao.

The best place to start is to ingest OS logs from the server that you're running Splunk on. Recommend leveraging the integration with Splunk App for Infrastructure, following the instructions here:

If you're running on Linux: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/InfraApp/2.2.2/Admin/AddNixAddon

If you're running on Windows: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/InfraApp/2.2.2/Admin/AddNixAddon

Then:

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/ITSI/4.7.1/SAIInt/Overview

Alternatively you could just ingest some data using the add-on for windows (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/742/) or add-on for *nix (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/742/) and create some sample entities/KPIs/Services from that data

Thank you for answering, question How do i get access to some of these Sales Engineers, to see if i can also... browse the features to see if the features make sense in Oxygen. Is there partnership program associated with this? If so what are the requirements for it? Or would I need to get certified to have access? I

Hi @RomeSplunk123,

it should be sufficient to take the Sales II certification, but you can ask to your Channel Manager.

Ciao.

P.S.: if you're italian, there's a Splunk User Group in Rome.
