1
00:00:00,090 --> 00:00:04,590
The submenu in the activity tab as the menu called triggered alerts.

2
00:00:05,010 --> 00:00:11,130
This is the location where all the alerts which are triggered will be logged, which can be useful for

3
00:00:11,130 --> 00:00:18,390
analyzing and checking if the alerts are triggered or not, or even how many alerts are triggered per

4
00:00:18,390 --> 00:00:22,560
day, or like alerts that are triggered by a single route.

5
00:00:23,250 --> 00:00:27,210
You'll be able to see all these alerts under this menu.

6
00:00:27,690 --> 00:00:36,750
Since this is a new installation and there has not been much activity of data ingestion or searching

7
00:00:36,750 --> 00:00:37,710
on this instance.

8
00:00:37,740 --> 00:00:43,080
As of now, we don't have any alerts that are triggered or created on this instance.

9
00:00:46,390 --> 00:00:54,640
And the final tab in the top menu is the help, which can be very resourceful at any stage of Splunk

10
00:00:54,670 --> 00:00:55,390
user.

11
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,850
Let's go through them quickly.

12
00:00:57,850 --> 00:00:58,840
One by one.

13
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:00,550
The first one.

14
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,100
Is the what's new.

15
00:01:04,130 --> 00:01:09,950
Takes us straight to the documentation site or Splunk, where you can search for any topic related to

16
00:01:09,950 --> 00:01:17,330
Splunk or check for the newer version of Splunk or see what's new with the latest releases.

17
00:01:17,540 --> 00:01:24,410
The second link takes you to the documentation side, where you will have access to the Splunk Enterprise

18
00:01:24,410 --> 00:01:32,480
Documentation, download and step by step guides where you'll be able to search and find answers.

19
00:01:32,780 --> 00:01:33,890
The Documentation.

20
00:01:34,670 --> 00:01:40,070
The one good thing about Splunk is the complete documentation part is kept open.

21
00:01:40,130 --> 00:01:41,780
If you click on tutorials.

22
00:01:43,140 --> 00:01:49,620
I will take you directly to the documentation site where you are complete resource to learn and understand

23
00:01:49,620 --> 00:01:50,270
Splunk.

24
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:57,450
But the only problem is Splunk is so big it has like probably if you combine all the documents to get

25
00:01:57,450 --> 00:02:01,620
there, it will give you like 3000, 4000 pages of documentation.

26
00:02:01,620 --> 00:02:03,330
Going through them will be a mess.

27
00:02:04,110 --> 00:02:10,410
You get directly into search tutorials where you will have a short tutorial or how to create reports,

28
00:02:10,410 --> 00:02:13,500
charts, dashboard and reaching your data.

29
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:19,980
We'll be going through all this one by one, but probably in a different order, which will be much

30
00:02:19,980 --> 00:02:20,970
more useful.

31
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,490
Let's see some of the other important links in help menu.

32
00:02:29,670 --> 00:02:39,570
The Splunk answers is one of the most informative and highly active StackOverflow kind website for Splunk.

33
00:02:39,780 --> 00:02:44,550
If you click on that link, it will directly take you to answers to Splunk dot com.

34
00:02:44,790 --> 00:02:51,870
There is a huge number of people constantly asking queries, posting answers to help other members of

35
00:02:51,870 --> 00:02:53,010
the Splunk community.

36
00:02:54,140 --> 00:03:01,130
If you already logged in, you can directly click on ask a question and it will pop a menu.

37
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,790
Whatever the questions, how dumb it is, no issues.

38
00:03:04,790 --> 00:03:11,180
You can probably search before asking a question that if somebody has asked the same question and you'll

39
00:03:11,180 --> 00:03:16,460
find the answer probably 80 to 90% of the time, because the community has been for a very long time

40
00:03:16,460 --> 00:03:18,050
and it is very active.

41
00:03:21,210 --> 00:03:28,950
The last link, I believe is the contact support is the Splunk portal where you log on incident, raise

42
00:03:28,950 --> 00:03:34,050
an incident to Splunk support, which will be through your customer portal and based on the priority,

43
00:03:34,050 --> 00:03:35,190
it will be resolved.

44
00:03:35,340 --> 00:03:42,000
The next link is the URL page, which takes you right back to the documentation.

45
00:03:48,230 --> 00:03:50,690
This is our admin manual.

46
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:58,100
This is also one of the important manual where you will be able to get the configuration references

47
00:03:58,550 --> 00:04:00,590
for Splunk.

48
00:04:01,610 --> 00:04:05,930
I highly recommend you to download this manual, go through it whenever you have time.

49
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,040
This shows on which page of the Splunk you click the help menu on.

50
00:04:10,070 --> 00:04:16,970
It takes directly all the activities related to that page or the functionalities present in that page,

51
00:04:16,970 --> 00:04:24,590
which gives you a complete picture of how it works or what are the options it has and how you can configure

52
00:04:24,590 --> 00:04:24,920
it.

53
00:04:26,230 --> 00:04:29,500
And and they helped me to the final one.

54
00:04:29,500 --> 00:04:35,320
How about page is the link which shows you the build and details of your Splunk installation and also

55
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:36,310
the app version.

56
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:42,020
Since this is the default app, your app version will be same as 6.6.2.

57
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,300
That is a.

58
00:04:44,530 --> 00:04:46,930
Current version, and this is the build version.
