Welcome back, my greenhorn hackers! In an earlier tutorial, I introduced you to Splunk for Security Monitoring. In this installment, we will examine the Splunk Processing Langauage or SPL. This is the language built into Splunk for searching for specific information among all the machine data that Splunk has gathered and indexed for us. Without […]
