View our Tech Talk: Platform Edition, Search Basics in Splunk

Search Basics is one of the most important learning topics for new users getting started with Splunk. Splunk’s powerful search capabilities allow you to search and investigate your data, regardless of its structure, to find the needle in your data haystack. You can easily explore your data further by visualizing relationships within your data to quickly spot outliers, adding visualizations and reports to create custom dashboards, and creating ad hoc alerts when you identify new issues or threats. 

Tune in to learn:

    • The power of Splunk Search, as we like to call “Schema on the Fly”
    • A beginner’s level introduction to Search, SPL, and Pivots
    • What you can do with your search results using reports, alerts, dashboards, and visualizations!

Tech Talks conversations will remain open for two weeks after the live talk. Then you can continue the conversation within Splunk Answer with the tag Search.
