Excellent book and walks you through a lot of examples. The only downside was that some of the commands did not have full information so I had to reference Splunk's documentation. Overall excellent practical read.

Having only a small investment in the use of Splunk in previous positions this book made it clear even for a novice user how to go about the set up of a dedicated Splunk server. It goes into a further explanation of how to set up data gathering, searches, and report design to "make data shine". I will say that this book will go a long way to setting up a dedicated Splunk server for log file searching in my current position so we can get a better handle on events in the various corporate networks we support.
