LENGTH: 24 Hours (3 days)

PRICE: Request Price

Description

This "Fast Start" course covers over 60 commands and functions and prepares students to be search experts. Students will learn how to effectively utilize time in searches, work with different time zones, use transforming commands and eval functions to calculate statistics, compare field values with eval functions and eval expressions, manipulate output, normalize fields and field values, use lookups and subsearches to enrich results, and correlate and filter data from multiple sources.
This class will take place over three 6-hour days (plus a 1-hour break each day)
