Contenu
This module serves as the foundation for all other Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring modules.
This 4.5-hour virtual module provides a fundamental understanding of Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring concepts such as the Splunk IM data model and different types of metadata. See how to search for metrics, find more information about a metric, visualize and alert on metrics. Learn to use appropriate rollups, interpret chart data based on chart resolution, rollups and analytic functions. All concepts are taught using lectures and scenario-based hands-on activities.
Note that a large portion of this module content was covered in the module Using Splunk Infrastructure Monitoring (retired module).
