Eventgen they use in their examples doesn’t work in the current version of Splunk.
Eventgen they use in their examples doesn’t work in the current version of Splunk. At least not as they instruct. And authors don’t respond to questions.If you base half of your book on a tool which doesn’t work, at least provide some help on your web site.

A tutorial
I was looking for less of a tutorial format and more time spent in exploring business application of the tool. There was lots of good information that would serve a developer looking to use splunk. If I was to buy this book again, I would opt for hardcopy to use it as a desk reference.

Concise and Detailed book
Its a unique book. I suggest this book to all splunkers. Style of writing, presenting concepts make anyone feel “Learning Splunk is easy with this book”. Screenshots and step by step instructions is good to follow.This book contains everything a Splunk developer needs to start working on Splunk and saves some time to understand concepts easily.Splunk Terminology, SPL commands.I would say this book is a practical guide.I give the book 5 * stars because the author does provide many examples, information about what to expect from a Splunk developer/Administrator.

Excellent book for splunk beginners
Very good book for understanding the Splunk and its capabilities on IT Operations space. Authors have given some excellent use-cases which we can implement using this book.
Amazon Kunde –
Der generelle Bestell- und Lieferungsablauf war sehr positiv. Wenn ich mich jedoch für ein Buch im Datenformat entscheide dann möchte ich auf diese Daten (Textpassagen) aber auch nicht nur eingeschränkt zugreifen dürfen. dies ist aber anscheinend in dem Kindle Format der Fall. Damit kommt dieses Format für mich nicht mehr in Frage.

Livre bien écrit, très pédagogique, excellent pour entrer dans le produit, comprendre ce qu’il fait, ce qu’il permet, etc… Exemples (Avec kit d’exemples à télécharger) pour Windows, on commence simple et on va de plus en plus loin. Le livre est assez complet, même si on aurait aimer aller plus loin dans certains points comme les remontées d’alerte par mails, mais sur Windows, il est plus compliqué de mettre en place un serveur SMTP de base, donc… Peut-être aurait-il été préférable de monter le kit d’exercices sur Linux ? Le produit semble bon et complet, il ne me reste plus qu’à relever les manches et monter mes propres cas, ce livre a été au delà de mes attentes. Je le recommande.

don’t waste your money – so basic that you are much better off looking at youtube for videos and reading the Splunk manuals.
