Chapter 1. The Splunk Interface

This chapter will walk you through the most common elements in the Splunk interface, and will touch upon concepts that will be covered in greater detail, in later chapters. You may want to pe right into the search section, but an overview of the user interface elements might save you some frustration later. We will cover the following topics in this chapter:

• Logging in and app selection
• A detailed explanation of the search interface widgets
• A quick overview of the admin interface
