You will master calculated fields, field aliases, custom commands, tags, and workflow actions — the tools that separate casual Splunk users from power analysts. The course also covers data normalization using CIM, which is critical for ensuring consistent and actionable security analytics across diverse data sources.
This course directly prepares you for the Splunk Core Certified Power User exam and opens doors to roles such as SIEM Engineer, Detection Engineer, and Security Analyst, where advanced Splunk expertise is a key requirement.
Review of Core SPL Concepts : Recap of search pipeline, key commands, and SPL best practices before advancing.
Multivalue Fields : Working with mv- functions: mvexpand, mvsort, mvdedup, and makemv.
Advanced Eval Functions : Using if, case, coalesce, tostring, tonumber, and string functions in eval expressions.
Streamstats & Eventstats : Using streamstats for running calculations and eventstats for inline aggregations.
