Study Notes
Search Command
- The search command is a fundamental Splunk command.
Eval Command
- The eval command performs calculations and manipulate data.
Macros
- A pipe can follow a macro when it is used as a generating command.
Data Models
- Data models are composed of datasets.
Field Extractor (FX)
- The Field Extractor (FX) works with delimiters such as space, comma, and colon.
Pivots
- Pivots are used by data analysts and business users in Splunk to create customized reports and dashboards.
Macro Execution
- Macros are executed in the search string by surrounding the macro name with backtick characters.
Field Extraction
- The Automatic mode automatically identifies the data type, source type, and sample event when extracting new fields.
Transaction and Stats Commands
- The transaction command is used to group events together based on a common field, whereas the stats command is used to calculate aggregate values.
Acceleration Configuration
- In the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM) add-on, acceleration is configured by default through the CIM setup page.
Transactions
- Events in a transaction have a common field or identifier that links them together.
