Hello,

I am new to Splunk. From where I need to start learning from zero to hero basis? I need to go till advanced knowledge.

Gone through documentation but it is not systematic. 

Please suggest some good documentation or systematic videos.

Hi @Karthikeya ,

in addition to the training the hinted @richgalloway, I hint to follow the Splunk Search Tutorial ( https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/latest/SearchTutorial ) and all the base videos that you can find in the YouTube Splunk Channel ( https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=splunk ).

Then I hint to identify a learning path and follow some course also to reach certifications, even if they aren't gratis).

Ciao.

Giuseppe

Take the free Splunk education courses available at https://education.splunk.com.  They will not make you a hero, but they are the best way to start.

Install Splunk on your workstation or in a VM/lab and use it.  That's the best way to learn.  Use your Splunk installation to research and answer questions on this web site.
