Splunk Search

Should I hide Extreme Search?

All,

I just installed ES. We're moving nice and slow here. I see it installs a supporting app called "Extreme" Search. Is there any reason to leave this isVisible=true? Should I just hide it from the menu's or is this something eventually users really get into?

Hi,

Extreme Search is used to help you answer qualitative questions like "is the amount of critical malware normal?" George Starcher wrote an excellent introduction to it here: http://www.georgestarcher.com/splunk-getting-extreme-part-one/

The version in Enterprise Security is pretty old, and IIRC the visualizations it ships are broken; you might want to download this to get a better feel for what it can do: https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/2855/#/details

At the end of the day, it's step one in a sequence... see https://www.scianta.com/xvcs for the latest tech.
