Splunk Education

From the Splunk education site you can access Getting Started Videos, courses that are focused on specific types of Splunk users, and information about Splunk certification tracks.

Splunk Documentation

The Splunk Community plays an integral role in the quality of the Splunk documentation. The documentation team receives hundreds of feedback emails from Splunk users every month. This feedback consists of questions, requests for clarifications or corrections, suggestions, and examples.

Because the Splunk Community takes the time to send the documentation team feedback, the documentation team is committed to responding to the feedback as quickly as possible. The feedback provided by the Splunk Community leads to improvements in the documentation. These improvements benefit both the person who initiated the feedback as well as every other user of the documentation.

The documentation team has also produced these quick reference guides:

• Search Quick Reference Guide
• Dashboards Quick Reference Guide
