This is part 2 in a series of blogs from a member of the SplunkTrust, demonstrating how to build a dashboard for analyzing the web logs from the Splunk Enterprise Search Tutorial dataset. This series assumes you have already completed that tutorial, as it uses the same dataset that you will have already downloaded and ingested into Splunk. If you have not, please go to the Tutorial and complete it (or at least download and ingest the dataset).

We are excited to kick off a new series of blogs from a member of the SplunkTrust, demonstrating how to build a dashboard for analyzing the web logs from the Splunk Enterprise Search Tutorial dataset. This series assumes you have already completed that tutorial, as it uses the same dataset that you will have already downloaded and ingested into Splunk. If you have not, please go to the Tutorial and complete it (or at least download and ingest the dataset).

What excites our customers and partners about Splunk? This is a question we are very curious about, so we brought it to the Splunk Love video booth at .conf24. 

(This is the second blog in our Splunk Love series. Check out our first one: "Describe Splunk in One Word"!)

The Splunk-based indexer workloads tested included around a million searches/day and ingestion of around 350GB data per indexer per day. The ext4 filesystem consistently outperformed XFS in terms of the introspection measure “avg_total_ms” on multiple indexer clusters.

We are beyond thrilled to announce our newest group of SplunkTrust members! The goal of the SplunkTrust™ program is not to recognize users in the room who know the most about Splunk. Rather, the SplunkTrust program was created to acknowledge and recognize those who go above and beyond to help their fellow Splunk practitioners and who have truly helped shape this wonderful, vibrant community.

A huge congrats to all new and returning members of the .conf23 SplunkTrust:

In 2018, Splunk featured a video about SplunkTrust member Clara Merriman. We interviewed Clara for the Where Are They Now series of blog posts to share her career growth story with you. Read on to learn more about Clara since her video was released.
