Introduction to Splunk and its Core Components

A few years ago, I was hired by the IT security team of a large healthcare company to work as a security engineer. At the time, the company had a homegrown Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system and was at the initial stages of rolling in a brand new Splunk deployment. Physical servers were ordered and scheduled to be delivered and licensing paperwork was completed. A Splunk Education instructor conducted on-site core Splunk and Splunk Enterprise Security training, and we were ready to go. The thought of working with Splunk was so exciting. At the time, we were getting ready to install Splunk 6.x with one of the earlier releases of Splunk Enterprise Security. Before my arrival, the team had worked with Splunk Professional Services to estimate storage and license requirements. The next step was to focus on the data. “How do you get value from data? How do you configure Splunk Enterprise to get value from your company’s data?” We will explore how to use Splunk Enterprise to gain insight into your data in this book. In this chapter, we will introduce how the big data tool called Splunk Enterprise can be used to explore data.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Splunking big data
  • Exploring Splunk components
  • Introducing the case study – splunking the BOTS Dataset v1
