What is This Year’s Scenario?

You and your team will once again assume the role of Ace, Splunk T-Shirt Co.’s Site Reliability Engineer and ultimate IT and Observability guru. You will need to monitor, triage, and remediate a variety of P1, P2, and P3 episodes (aka incidents and outages). You will deep dive into real-world datasets using Splunk's IT and Observability platforms, get back to your roots with some core Splunk search and maybe even need to utilize the interwebs just like in real life. 

As always, there are many paths to victory and time is of the essence. You and your team will need to solve as many episodes as you can while racing the clock, earning points, and having fun.

Ready to Register?

Getting back to our roots, we will have a single competition this year to kick off .conf22. This is a hybrid event and you can join us either in-person at MGM Las Vegas or online in the comfort of your own home or office. You can register for the competition on the BOSS Platform at https://boo.splunk.com and scroll down to BOSS Events, or use the direct link here

Want Some Pre-.conf22 Practice?

We recently launched several Play Now Episodes based on iRacing and Data Drivers datasets. (Not only will you learn some new Splunk skills, but you may even find an Easter Egg to give you a leg up on the competition this year!) These Episodes are from our version 4 (.conf20) and version 5 (.conf21) games. Each episode provides training with a different Splunk Solution:

  • If you want practice with Splunk Search and SPL, check out this episode!
  • For practice with Splunk IT Service Intelligence, play this episode!
  • And for an introduction to Splunk Observability Cloud and Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring, access this episode!
