Splunk is one of the most used applications for analyzing unstructured data in the data center. This course will teach you the basics of setting up Splunk, writing Splunk queries, and running Splunk with Hadoop.
What you'll learn
Today there are more devices generating data than ever before, but making sense of this data is nearly impossible. In this course, Analyzing Machine Data with Splunk, you'll learn foundational knowledge of/gain the ability to utilize Splunk to analyze your devices both in and outside of the data center. First, you will learn how to set up your own Splunk development environment. Next, you'll learn to use Splunk forwarders to send data back to your Splunk development environment. Finally, you'll learn how to move data from Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) into Splunk. When you're finished with this course, you will have the skills and knowledge of Splunk needed to analyze your machine data.
