Friends,

I am new to Splunk forum and looking for some help.

I am currently planning on getting my Splunk Core User Certification and struggling to get a good study material. Can you please suggest any books/websites?

Thank You,
Shiva

it's hard to find anything helpful. I use flashcards to help me memorizing the online course materials. below is one example.

Don't trust flash card sites.  The information in them is of questionable quality and have been found to be incorrect in the past.  Stick with the Splunk-provided material.

I think you'll be better off spending your flash-card time on hands-on activity with Splunk.

Since the questions on the exam pretty much come from the Fundamentals classes, the material from those classes is your best study material.
