Hello Splunker,

I hope you all are doing well. 

 

I prepare to take the SPLK-3001 Exam, and I want to know the Self-Study guide, and the Version of the ES? is it V7 or V8?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @AliMaher 

I colleague of mine recently took the SPLK-3001 exam and was based on ES 7.x.

For self-study, I'd recommend using the official Splunk Enterprise Security Certified Admin Exam Blueprint which lists all tested topics and recommended learning paths - this will help focus on which areas are covered in the exam and allow you to tick off what you've learnt.

🌟 Did this answer help you? If so, please consider:

  • Adding karma to show it was useful
  • Marking it as the solution if it resolved your issue
  • Commenting if you need any clarification

The example questions in the Study Guide are about ES7 (the most obvious differentiator between those two is notables vs. findings). It is a normal practice for Splunk certifications and trainings to not rely on the most bleeding edge versions of software since there are often older versions in use in the real world.
