Posted in Information Security Tagged certification, Continuous Monitoring, Log Management, SIEM, Splunk, Splunk Core Certfified User Certification This certification is just the beginning of Splunk in my career. The Splunk Core Certified User Certification has allowed me to get a jump start on building dashboards and starting some data analytics on my home network. The certification was affordable and has given me a great foundation for using Splunk at a user level. After leaving the room the results were handed to me: “Congratulations you are now Splunk certified” Woo! The exam took 33 minutes to complete and the results were sent to the printer outside of the testing room. The exam did allow reviewing previous questions, so a few questions later in the exam helped with some earlier questions that I was not 100 percent sure of. Most of the questions were easy if you understand how Splunk searches work and understand the syntax. After the first few questions I was feeling good about the level of difficulty. The exam was 65 questions with 1 hour to complete. Overall I studied about 15 hours in total. This allowed me to start seeing value in the training and helped solidify the material. I also started sending all my home servers and network gear logs to Splunk to search real data. Splunk Fundamentals 2 covers some of the same material, but was not necessary to pass. I did not use any additional training outside of the Fundamentals 1 course, however I did move on to Fundamentals 2 while waiting to sit for the exam. ![]() After competing all the training I seen that the certification from Pearson Vue was only $125.00. Most of the topics were covering Splunk search syntax and how to be efficient with the search jobs. I went through the videos, labs, and questions.

Splunk offers great documentation to stand up your own instance here. The training for fundamentals 1 does not provide a Splunk environment to use, but it does provide video lessons of how to configure your own instance. The course topics for Splunk Fundamentals 1: I discovered the Splunk Fundamentals 1 Training was free, so lets give it a shot. Courses for IT Service Intelligence End-Users.Courses for IT Service Intelligence Administrators.Courses for Enterprise Security End-Users.Courses for Enterprise Security Administrators.I began looking into the training offered by Splunk. I wanted to know how to use it efficiently and get the most out of the product. Recently I deployed Splunk on my home network. Whether you are using it as a log management system or creating dashboards for data analytics, Splunk provides a nice framework to build your solution. Splunk has so many applications that almost any environment can benefit from a Splunk deployment.
