Are there any Splunk training materials for new users?

[skoelpin]

I've been tasked with creating training sessions for new Splunk users in our organization. The training will need to include recorded classes that will be hosted on our SharePoint site. I will also need to produce slides and real life exercises with solutions along with cheatsheets of the commands. I have until 11/15 to make this happen..

Obviously this is a pretty time consuming thing to do and would rather use something that's established as a framework and build something around that rather than developing something from scratch. So my question is, does anyone know of anything I described which can help me meet my deadline?

That sounds like a great initiative to onboard new Splunk users efficiently! Given the time constraints, leveraging existing frameworks and resources is a smart approach. You might want to check out Splunk Education courses, Splunk Docs, and Splunk Lantern, which offer pre-built training materials, use cases, and best practices. Additionally, you can explore Splunk Workload Management and Splunk Fundamentals courses to adapt their content into your training modules.

For structuring your training:
✅ Use Splunk e-learning modules for recorded classes
✅ Customize existing Splunk dashboards for real-world exercises
✅ Compile frequently used Splunk SPL commands into a cheat sheet
✅ Utilize SharePoint integration for seamless content hosting

Yes, there are many Splunk training materials available for new users. The HKR offers several resources for getting started with the software. These include tutorials, white papers, webinars, and other helpful resources. Additionally, there are a number of online courses available from third-party providers that can help users learn the basics of Splunk. These courses often provide hands-on experience with the software and allow users to practice using it in a variety of scenarios. Finally, there are also user forums where experienced Splunk users can offer advice and tips to new users. By taking advantage of these resources, new users can quickly become familiar with Splunk and start leveraging its powerful features

Here is a checklist:

1: Download the slide deck bundle from .conf 2015 (& 2016 when it is out). It is GREAT stuff and totally free:

2: Send a request through http://splunk402.com/chat to join the Splunk user groups Slack chat. Join these channels:

3: Find and join a local Splunk User Group. Start coming to the monthly meetings; they are great for learning and networking:
https://usergroups.splunk.com/
4: Take the free training (i.e. Fundamentals 1) from the training poral here:
https://inter.viewcentral.com/events/cust/current_profile.aspx?cid=splunk&pid=1
