Hi All,

I am new to Splunk and starting to use this from the scratch for an e-commerce application. Please help me with beginner guides and guide tutorial links to help me understand Splunk.

I tried to find the beginner guide but somehow, I am confusing with the usage and importance of Splunk.

Some please provide the links for the learning of this.

There are sooo many resources for you for how to get started!!

first, i suggest Fundamentals 1
https://www.splunk.com/en_us/training/free-courses/splunk-fundamentals-1.html
it is a free course that helps you get to know the basics of Splunk.

There is also tons of information on Youtube:

I also suggest to check out all of the community resources, such as answers (which you are already on 🙂 ) and slack (splk.it/slack) to ask questions more real time as well as chat with the community about a number of topics. also, make sure you check out docs.splunk.com, as the documentation is incredible. there is also bucketlist.splunk.com which has some fun challenges for users.
