Community Office Hours FAQ

Details for scheduled sessions can be found in the Community Office Hours section of the Splunk Community.

What’s the goal of Community Office Hours?

  • Review and answer questions submitted by office hour participants
  • Help new customers get up-and-Splunking quickly 
  • Provide hands-on guidance and best practices to Splunk admins and users of all experience levels
  • Share tips and tricks that may not be well-known or obvious

Who can attend these sessions?

  • Community Office Hours are designed for onboarding and early-maturity customers, but are open to anyone interested in learning more about Splunk Platform in a live, hands-on environment.
  • You must register to attend a session. 

How do I submit questions?

  • Please submit questions in advance by responding to the session thread in Community or by posting in the #office-hours user Slack channel (request access here)

Please note: 

  • We will prioritize pre-submitted questions first, then will open the floor up to live Q&A
  • We will prioritize questions that we feel are good for the broader group, such as
    • Questions that are frequently asked, 
    • Questions that receive high upvotes in Community (or Slack). 
  • While we will attempt to answer all questions, we are limited on time.

What’s the session format?

  • A majority of the 30-minute session (20-25 mins) will be dedicated to answering pre-submitted questions. 
  • Last portion (5-10 mins) will be an open Q&A, where participants can unmute or post their question in the chat.
  • In general, we'll target 5 minutes per question to help us get to everyone. 
  • Please note: We’ll work in a demo environment, so it may not match your individual environment.

Who’s leading the discussion?

  • Subject matter experts from various Splunk technical, product, and support teams will be available to answer questions.
