Splunk Enterprise Administration Fast Start (SP-ADM-FT)
Course Overview

The Splunk Enterprise Administration Fast Start training is an intensive, accelerated course designed to quickly build the practical skills needed to deploy, manage, and maintain an on-premises Splunk Enterprise environment. This fast-track curriculum condenses two separate certifications—Splunk Enterprise System Administration and Splunk Enterprise Data Administration—into a single, high-impact program. Students learn how to architect a basic distributed Splunk deployment, manage user access through role-based permissions, configure licenses, and navigate Splunk's complex configuration file precedence rules to fine-tune system behavior.

Beyond core platform administration, the course places a heavy emphasis on data ingestion mechanics and remote endpoint management. Participants gain hands-on experience setting up Universal Forwarders and leveraging the Splunk Deployment Server to centrally push updates to thousands of target machines. The curriculum comprehensively covers how to ingest diverse data streams—such as file monitors, network inputs, and the HTTP Event Collector (HEC)—while teaching students how to parse, mask, and filter event data before it is indexed. This course serves as the premier preparation path for professionals aiming to earn their Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin credential.

IMPORTANT: The Splunk Enterprise Administration Fast Start is suitable for learners with Splunk On-Prem installations.
• This Fast Start series is a bundle of 2 key modules with 30 hours of content provided over five days. This Fast Start prepares you to earn the Splunk Enterprise Certified Admin certification.

This is a bundle of 2 key Courses:

Course Objectives

In this course, you will learn to:
• Manage Splunk Licenses: Set up the Splunk license manager, configure license pools, track daily ingestion quotas, and handle license violations.
• Navigate Splunk Configuration Files: Identify the structure, precedence layers, and locations of core file directories (e.g., props.conf, transforms.conf) to manipulate settings manually.
• Enforce Role-Based Access Control: Create and configure users, assign specific system capabilities, and manage authentications across different organizational roles.
• Administer Apps and Distributed Environments: Deploy Splunk Apps, optimize directory structures, and manage search components across a basic distributed deployment layout.
• Deploy and Manage Forwarders: Install, configure, and maintain Universal Forwarders to securely collect and pass server machine logs to core Splunk indexers.
• Utilize the Splunk Deployment Server: Create server classes to centrally manage, update, and push uniform configuration bundles out to thousands of remote endpoints.
• Configure Diverse Ingestion Channels: Set up diverse native data inputs, including localized file monitors, network streams (TCP/UDP), scripted inputs, and the HTTP Event Collector (HEC)
• Master Sourcetypes and Pre-indexing Phases: Assign explicit sourcetypes to incoming logs and manipulate the parsing pipeline to dictate line breaking, custom timestamping, and event boundaries.
• Apply Data Transformations: Build data-masking and event-filtering rules using regular expressions to cleanse or drop junk traffic before it hits the indexing disk
