LEARN SPLUNK, GET THE SPLUNK ENTERPRISE CERTIFIED ADMIN CREDENTIAL

Hey everyone!

You know me, I’m the most popular Splunk instructor here on Udemy. You’ve perhaps taken my Complete Splunk Beginner’s Course, and you’ve been waiting for a course that’s structured to help you earn the Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin certification.

Look no further! This is the first—and most comprehensive—course that covers the latest versions of Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Cloud Platform.

A recent student said


“Thanks for making this course, it was very useful. I did the exam and got the Admin cert.” – Gustavs

In this class, we will cover everything on the exam blueprint in a fun and engaging way. We will provide you with the tools you need to pass the exam and get certified, including:

  • Demos
  • Exercises
  • Quizzes
  • Homework

Whether you’ve inherited a Splunk environment, are building one from scratch, or are simply curious about Splunk, this course was designed specifically for you!

We’ll cover it all, from installing Splunk for the first time to architecting advanced distributed Splunk environments for large enterprises. We’ll talk about search head clustering, heavy forwarders, indexer clustering, configuration files, authentication (yes, even with LDAP), and much more.

I look forward to working with you in this course, and in future courses!
