Program Abstract

REF: SPLUNK 6
Curriculum aligned to the latest Exam Outline.
Format Live, Instructor-Led
Duration 2

Learning Splunk is Hard. We Make It Simple.

This two-day Splunk boot camp is built around continuous lab work covering data ingest, SPL search, dashboards, alerts, and reporting. Instructors walk you through real use cases, and nearly every section ends in an exercise you run yourself. The final lab has you stand up a full pipeline from an NGINX server into Splunk. You leave able to use Splunk for monitoring, investigation, and daily operational work.

Updated Splunk Training.

Generic Splunk material teaches the interface. Our courseware is built for this boot camp and updated as the platform changes, so the labs reflect how Splunk is actually deployed.

Hands-On Lab Environment

Spend less time in slides and more time configuring. Our lab-intensive approach lets you practice troubleshooting on live network scenarios.

Practical From Day One.

Built for people who want practical skills, not just theory, with live instruction, hands on labs, and clear guidance that helps you start using Splunk with confidence right away.

Splunk
Boot Camp FAQ

Real questions from real professionals who passed.
Here's how we answer them.

No. Splunk Boot Camp is a two-day hands-on training course with no exam and no certification attached. You earn 16 PDUs and leave with working skills rather than a credential.

Two days, 14 hours of live instruction, delivered online or in person.

Some, yes. This is a deeper dive rather than a first look at the tool. You should arrive with basic familiarity with the Splunk interface and terminology.

Basic comfort helps. Lab exercises run in a Linux environment by default, and a Windows environment can be provided on request.

Search Processing Language is how you query data in Splunk. It is the difference between having your logs in one place and being able to ask them useful questions. Three separate lab blocks cover SPL operators, the search pipeline, subsearches, lookups, drilldowns, and search optimization.

Indexes, indexers, search heads, index clusters, the index pipeline, events, fields and field extraction, forwarders, metrics, and removing data. You create an index, upload data manually, run the field extractor, and send data through a forwarder in labs.

Yes. Day two covers dashboard creation, visualization types, searches as reports, input forms, and drilldowns, then moves to creating, scheduling, and routing alerts. Each of those has a lab.

You install and configure an NGINX server, connect the Splunk forwarder to collect its logs, then build searches, visualizations, and dashboards on top of that data. It assembles everything from both days into one working pipeline.

No. Developers, QA and release engineers, DevOps practitioners, DBAs and data engineers, security managers and administrators, and business intelligence analysts all work in Splunk. The course is built for that mix.

Yes, though it is a platform course rather than a security course. You learn the ingest, search, dashboard, and alerting mechanics that security monitoring runs on, which transfer directly to SIEM work.

Yes, 16 PDUs toward PMI credential maintenance.

Yes. Private group and on-site delivery are available, with pricing that improves at volume. Contact us for a group quote.

Course materials and the full lab guide for reference, plus instructor access after the class ends. The capstone pipeline you build is a pattern you can reuse on your own log sources.
