I’m preparing for the Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin (SPLK-1005) exam and would appreciate any advice:

Best study resources (besides official docs)?

Key topics to focus on for the exam?

Hands-on lab recommendations?

Any tricky areas to watch out for?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @bradnoris26 

For practicing and taking mock tests before your Splunk 1005 exam, here are some recommended sites and resources:

Splunk Cloud Certified Admin Exam Blueprint - https://www.splunk.com/en_us/pdfs/training/splunk-test-blueprint-cloud-admin.pdf - This has a great breakdown of the kind of things which will be asked - showing the split of marks available against various areas. 
 
Splunk Cloud Certified Admin Track - https://www.splunk.com/en_us/pdfs/training/splunk-core-certified-consultant-track.pdf - This shows the pre-reqs and further info about what to expect and what is required.

You can also find an overview of the areas covered at https://www.splunk.com/en_us/pdfs/training/splunk-cloud-certified-admin-track.pdf
 
You can also check out the Splunk YouTube for some useful videos that might help! http://splk.it/How-To
 
There are no Splunk-provided sample exam questions for this exam, but hopefully the above info helps!

 

Please be wary of external website offering sample questions, these come with a number of complications due to being potentially incorrect questions/answers (you dont want to learn the wrong answers by copying someone elses homework!) but also this would be a breach of the Exam Terms and Conditions (see section 4.5) and could mean revocation of your certification.

Lastly, good luck!
