Where do I find the recommended prerequisite "What is Splunk" (eLearning)?

When I look at the course catalog for splunk training, I often see "What is Splunk (eLearning" listed as a recommended prerequisite.
I'm brand new to Splunk, so it seems like a good place to start.

When I go to the splunk training course catalog, however, I can't find that course.

Is this perhaps a reference to some free introduction to splunk?

Just trying to figure out the details.

Thank you

it's this: http://www.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAH9U

i think it must have used to be called "what is Splunk" but was changed at some point recently.

I also recommend the Splunk Infrastructure Overview e-learning: http://www.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAPB2 .

Thank you for the pointer. I don't see a cost specified, but when I put it into the shopping card and click check out, I see a note that says "I agree to pay the full list price for this course" for failing to cancel..." .

I'm hesitant to say "yes" to a statement that I will pay an amount which is not shown.

I would have thought if it were free, I would have been told that.

Am I overlooking the price some where?

Thank you again.

the "What is Splunk" course is free. and if you haven't input any payment method, there is no need to be concerned 🙂
the Infrastructure course ChrisG recommends is $100 for 30 days of access.
