Upcoming User Group Events! 👏
Get in on these upcoming user group events in August. Most meetings are hybrid or virtual, and we've got a bevy of in-person meetups going on now as well. Join a meeting!
August Upcoming User Group Events:
- London User Group 8/4 - (Hybrid) [RSVP] Automating Splunk Deployments With Ansible/Terraform With Musa Guhad. As your Splunk footprint increases, so does the complexity and the human input necessary to provision and maintain this new infrastructure. To ensure consistent deployment and configuration of Splunk deployments, we will look at how we can leverage Terraform (for Infrastructure provisioning) and Ansible (for configuration management) for faster MTTV as well as reducing and removing the toil involved.
- Dallas User Group 8/9 - (Hybrid) [RSVP] Splunk Vulnerabilities Roll-up. How do you get reluctant Splunk Admins to accept and finally upgrade to a Splunk x.0.0 release? Make it the only way to mitigate the eight “new” vulnerabilities you announce the same day it’s released! What are these vulnerabilities, how critical are they, and what steps can you take to secure your deployment? Cone to DASUG and find answers to all of this and more!
- Luxembourg User Group 8/10 - (Virtual) [RSVP] Enriching Your Splunk Data With Non-standard Data Sources. Splunk already offers a vast panoply of mechanisms to allow engineers to correlate their data and enrich events. With this in mind, the only limitation we have is our imagination. In this session, Tony Reinke, Splunkie award recipient and long-term member of the Splunk Community, will show us how to reach the next level of data enrichment.
- San Francisco User Group 8/16 - (Virtual) [RSVP] How to Start or Lead a Splunk User Group. In this session, formerly known as "Splunk User Group Leader Training," you will learn what it takes to be a Splunk User Group leader, along with the next steps in creating a Splunk User Group or joining an existing leadership team. This course is mandatory for anyone who intends to lead a Splunk User Group.
- Denver User Group 8/17 - (Hybrid) [RSVP] Denver Splunk User Group's Splunk-nic Celebration! Hey folks, this one is just about having fun with your fellow Splunk ninjas, having some food and drinks...and of course doing some cool stuff with Splunk. Join us for an awesome time in Centennial Center Park, and in addition to all the usual barbecue fare, we will have a Splunk AR scavenger hunt, show-and-tell from other Splunk enthusiasts, experts from Splunk's Security, Observability and Cloud teams, and prizes!
- Yorkshire User Group 8/18 - (Hybrid) [RSVP] .conf22 Recap. This month we’ll be running a recap session to highlight some of the great content from this year’s .conf22 in Las Vegas. We’ll be hearing from Luke Williams and Mayur Kapadia of Hippo Digital who attended the .conf22 conference and training in-person. We’d love to hear your thoughts on any of the announcements. We’ll have time for questions and wider discussion after the presentations, along with free pizza, beer, and other refreshments for those attending in-person.
Search the full list of User Groups to find meetups in all locations. As we shift into more in-person events and/or hybrid models, there are plenty of opportunities for you to join from across the globe!
