Hi,

Today I've read the page(docs) all about "splunk" , and listened to few of videos and it's great , impressed , interested to know/learn more about it.

Installed splunk-4.2 on my Linux machine , and just started the service. Pretty cool!

So now i want to test all ways how to add data , monitor , generate/view reports and more..

Can someone guide me or , let me know with some document for best practices to start one-by-one for the one who wants to start learning at the first stage.

Want something like -
Document with all the commands to apply?
Commands with example ?
more ?

thanks
kiran

This is an excellent tutorial to get you started: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/User/WelcometotheSplunktutorial

Reference on all search commands is available in the search reference manual: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchReference/ListOfSearchCommands

Also this cheat sheet could probably prove useful: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/SearchReference/SearchCheatsheet

That should get you going 🙂
