• Executable Tutorial

Description

In this executable tutorial, we will guide the user through running Splunk. We will add a data source and create a dashboard to visualize data using the new Splunk Dashboard Studio. The data source will be set up to dynamically grow in size and change its data over time, showcasing Splunk's real-time capabilities. Finally, we will configure an alert to trigger when a specific data threshold is met.

Relevance

"Having good dashboards is essential in DevOps" (see here).

Hi @t-sorger, have you decided the platform you will use for the tutorial?

[t-sorger]

Hi @Deee92, we planned on using KillerCoda to spin up and host a Docker container, so we can do the whole tutorial in the web browser.

Also just to make sure, does "Task 3" as deadline refer to deadline 3 (Deadline 3 for async tasks: Oct 15 2024, 17h Stockholm time)?

[Deee92]

Yes, your tutorial is due October 15. You will open a new PR for the final submission, linking this proposal PR. Let me know if that sounds good, and I'll merge.

[t-sorger]

Thanks for the clarification. Sounds good to us, please merge😊
