This is an IN-PERSON track on the Collin College campus

Description

Dive into fundamental concepts with expert instruction on Splunk, the leading platform that helps bring data to every question, decision and action across organizations.

This hands on track will immerse you in topics that can take any beginner from writing their first basic queries, to assembling dashboards and managing knowledge objects, to having greater command of the Splunk Search Processing Language (SPL), and more. By the end of the week, you will have investigated and analyzed different datasets, and be equipped with ample knowledge to take our Splunk Power User certification. This track also teaches the prerequisite skills to attend more advanced training that will help you bring Splunk to your classrooms.
