Introduction
The Splunk Power User course is designed for analysts, engineers, and developers who need to unlock the full potential of machine data. While basic users write searches, Power Users architect the underlying knowledge objects that teams rely on for threat hunting, operational intelligence, and compliance.
Through this 20-hour intensive track, you will learn to build calculated fields, correlate multi-source log telemetry using transactions and subsearches, create dynamic workflow actions, and map disparate log formats directly into the Splunk Common Information Model (CIM).

Course Contents
Mapped 100% to the official Splunk Core Certified Power User exam curriculum:
Leveraging chart, timechart, advanced multi-series splits, and formatting options to build intuitive visualizations.
Manipulating search output using eval expressions, rex regex filtering, conditional statements, and output formatting.
Identifying relationships between multi-source events using subsearches, the transaction command, and statistical correlation.
Configuring manual and automated field extractions using the Field Extractor (FX), regular expressions, and delimiter setups.
Normalizing distinct field names across log formats with aliases, and calculating runtime fields dynamically.
Categorizing similar events into reusable event types, tagging key attributes, and simplifying complex search workflows.
Writing parameter-driven search macros to encapsulate frequently used search logic and streamline reporting across teams.
Enabling context-aware interactions: building GET, POST, and search workflow actions directly from event details to external tools.
Designing structured hierarchical datasets using attributes and child objects, powering the Pivot interface for non-technical users.
Normalizing custom security and system logs to Splunk CIM standards to prepare data for Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) SIEM apps.
