Certification Roadmap
1Module 1-2: Advanced Search & Reporting
Master complex searches and reporting at power user level.
Advanced SPL Commands
Subsearches, nested searches, advanced stats, time-based analysis
Master subsearches, multi-level searches, advanced stats functions, and span/bin operations for complex data analysis.
Data Transformation
Eval functions, field transformations, conditional logic
Use eval function mastery, complex field transformations, conditional logic, and string manipulation functions.
Search Performance
Query optimization, index time vs search time
Apply search efficiency techniques, understand index vs search time tradeoffs, and implement performance tuning strategies.
2Module 3-4: Knowledge Objects
Design and implement knowledge objects for data enrichment.
Event Types & Tags
Pattern matching, tag creation and grouping
Create event types using pattern matching, assign tags, and organize tag groups for structured data classification.
Field Enhancement
Field aliases, calculated fields, custom validations
Configure field aliases, create calculated fields, assign field types, and set up custom field validations.
Workflow Actions
Link and search actions, external tool integration
Build workflow actions including link and search actions, integrate with external tools, and apply best practices.
3Module 5-6: Macros & Field Aliases
Build reusable search components with macros and field enrichment.
Macro Creation
Arguments, parameters, conditional and nested macros
Define simple and complex macros with arguments, conditional logic, and nested macro patterns for reusable searches.
Field Aliases
Multi-field mapping, alias inheritance, conflict resolution
Configure field aliases, handle multi-field mapping, manage alias inheritance, and resolve priority conflicts.
Advanced Field Operations
Props/transforms config, field precedence and hierarchy
Apply field extraction patterns, configure props and transforms, and understand field precedence and inheritance rules.
4Module 7-8: Data Models
Design and implement data models for enterprise analytics.
Data Model Basics
Architecture, objects, attributes, acceleration
Understand data model architecture, define objects and attributes, and configure acceleration for performance.
Object Design
Root and child objects, field inheritance, constraints
Design root and child objects, implement field inheritance, apply constraints and filtering, and optimize objects.
Advanced Features
Acceleration, calculated object fields, advanced joins
Implement data model acceleration, create calculated object fields, configure advanced joins, and manage versioning.
5Module 9: Common Information Model (CIM)
Master data normalization with Splunk's CIM framework.
CIM Fundamentals
CIM data models, field mappings, add-on design
Understand CIM concepts, explore CIM data models, learn field mappings, and design CIM-compliant add-ons.
CIM Implementation
Tagging, props/transforms, field alias mapping
Tag events for CIM compliance, configure props and transforms, map field aliases to CIM fields, and validate.
CIM Use Cases
Security, IT ops, app performance, cross-source correlation
Normalize security data, IT operations, and application performance metrics for cross-source correlation.
