Description

This 4 day course is designed for the experienced Splunk administrators who are new to a Splunk DSP. This hands-on class provides the fundamentals of deploying a Splunk DSP cluster and designing pipelines for core use cases. It covers installation, source and sink configurations, pipeline design and backup, and monitoring a DSP environment.
