Vincent Bumgarner has been designing software for nearly 20 years, working in many languages on nearly as many platforms. He started using Splunk in 2007 and has enjoyed watching the product evolve over the years.
While working for Splunk, he helped many companies, training dozens of users to drive, extend, and administer this extremely flexible product. At least one person at every company he worked with asked for a book on Splunk, and he hopes his effort helps fill their shelves.
I would like to thank my wife and kids as this book could not have happened without their support. A big thank you to all of the reviewers for contributing their time and expertise, and special thanks to SplunkNinja for the recommendation.
Mathieu Dessus is a security consultant for Verizon in France and acts as the SIEM leader for EMEA. With more than 12 years of experience in the security area, he has acquired a deep technical background in the management, design, assessment, and systems integration of information security technologies. He specializes in web security, Unix, SIEM, and security architecture design.
Cindy McCririe is a client architect at Splunk. In this role, she has worked with several of Splunk's enterprise customers, ensuring successful deployment of the technology. Many of these customers are using Splunk in unique ways. Sample use cases include PCI compliance, security, operations management, business intelligence, Dev/Ops, and transaction profiling.
Nick Mealy was an early employee at Splunk and worked as the Mad Scientist / Principal User Interface Developer at Splunk from March 2005 to September 2010. He led the technical design and development of the systems that power Splunk's search and reporting interfaces as well as on the general systems that power Splunk's configurable views and dashboards. In 2010, he left Splunk to found his current company, Sideview, which is creating new Splunk apps and new products on top of the Splunk platform. The most widely known of these products is the Sideview Utils app, which has become very widely deployed (and will be discussed in , Building Advanced Dashboards ). Sideview Utils provides new UI modules and new techniques that make it easier for Splunk app developers and dashboard creators to create and maintain their custom views and dashboards.

Splunk is a powerful tool for collecting, storing, alerting, reporting, and studying machine data. This machine data usually comes from server logs, but it could also be collected from other sources. Splunk is by far the most flexible and scalable solution available to tackle the huge problem of making machine data useful.
The goal of this book is to serve as an organized and curated guide to Splunk 4.3. As the documentation and community resources available for Splunk are vast, finding the important pieces of knowledge can be daunting at times. My goal is to present what is needed for an effective implementation of Splunk in as concise and useful a manner as possible.
, The Splunk Interface , walks the reader through the user interface elements.
, Understanding Search , covers the basics of the search language, paying particular attention to writing efficient queries.
, Tables , Charts, and Fields , shows how to use fields for reporting, then covers the process of building our own fields.
, Simple XML Dashboards , first uses the Splunk web interface to build our first dashboards. It then examines how to build forms and more efficient dashboards.
, Advanced Search Examples , walks the reader through examples of using Splunk's powerful search language in interesting ways.
, Extending Search , exposes a number of features in Splunk to help you categorize events and act upon search results in powerful ways.
