Our brand new users are asking for a cheat sheet for the basic Splunk commands. Can anybody recommend something cheerful?
Is there a Splunk user guide?

If they are new to searching and reporting, I also suggest the Search Tutorial, if they have not gone through it before. The Search Manual and the Search Reference provide the next levels of detail specifically for the search language.
