商品描述
Splunk is a software technology for monitoring, searching, analyzing, and visualizing machine-generated data in real time. This book, divided into three modules, is structured to help readers prepare for Splunk certification exams.
The first module focuses on the Splunk Core Certified User and Power User exams. It covers Splunk installation across operating systems, license management, and user role configuration. Readers will learn the Splunk Processing Language (SPL) to create search queries, extract fields, and handle complex data formats like JSON and XML. Topics also include creating field aliases, macros, and event tags; using lookups to enrich data; setting up alerts; building data models; and designing advanced dashboards for presenting insights.
The second module prepares readers for the Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin exam through four chapters on essential administrative tasks. These include managing Splunk licenses, configuring the Splunk Forwarder for efficient data collection, and setting up indexer clusters for redundancy and high availability. The module also explores security best practices, advanced data input options, and troubleshooting tools like btool for managing .conf files. This section equips readers with the skills to optimize and secure Splunk environments.
The third module builds on the Architect certification by delving into advanced infrastructure management and troubleshooting. It covers search head configuration, multisite indexer clustering, and resource management. Readers will also learn to use REST API services, deploy apps via the deployment server, and manage Splunk on AWS. Each module includes chapter-end MCQs and module-specific tests to reinforce learning and exam readiness.
What You Will Learn
- Pass the Splunk Core Certified User, Power User, and Enterprise Certified Admin exams.
- Manage multi-site clustering and complex Splunk Enterprise topologies.
- Master Splunk Admin roles and advanced troubleshooting.
- Configure a Splunk lab environment in AWS.
Who This Book Is For
This book is ideal for individuals preparing for Splunk certification exams and for Splunk administrators or support engineers managing existing deployments.

Splunk 是一種軟體技術，用於實時監控、搜尋、分析和可視化機器生成的數據。本書分為三個模組，旨在幫助讀者準備 Splunk 認證考試。
第一個模組專注於 Splunk Core Certified User 和 Power User 考試。內容涵蓋跨操作系統的 Splunk 安裝、許可證管理和用戶角色配置。讀者將學習 Splunk Processing Language (SPL) 來創建搜尋查詢、提取欄位，並處理像 JSON 和 XML 這樣的複雜數據格式。主題還包括創建欄位別名、宏和事件標籤；使用查詢來豐富數據；設置警報；構建數據模型；以及設計高級儀表板以呈現見解。
第二個模組通過四個章節準備讀者參加 Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin 考試，涵蓋基本的管理任務。這些任務包括管理 Splunk 許可證、配置 Splunk Forwarder 以高效收集數據，以及設置索引器集群以實現冗餘和高可用性。該模組還探討安全最佳實踐、高級數據輸入選項，以及像 btool 這樣的故障排除工具，用於管理 .conf 文件。本部分使讀者具備優化和保護 Splunk 環境的技能。
第三個模組基於架構師認證，深入探討高級基礎設施管理和故障排除。內容涵蓋搜尋頭配置、多站點索引器集群和資源管理。讀者還將學習使用 REST API 服務、通過部署伺服器部署應用程式，以及在 AWS 上管理 Splunk。每個模組都包括章節末的選擇題和模組特定的測試，以加強學習和考試準備。
