Description

The Splunk® Architect Cluster Admin course provides essential knowledge and skills for planning, configuring, and managing a scalable Splunk® deployment. Participants will gain expertise in various aspects of Splunk® architecture, including indexer cluster setup, command usage, multi-site deployments, forwarder management, and search head clustering concepts. This course empowers architects to design and implement robust Splunk® deployments that meet enterprise-scale requirements.

Agenda:

Planning a Deployment:

Understand the requirements and considerations for a successful Splunk® deployment.

Evaluate hardware, storage, network, and security requirements.

Develop a deployment plan that aligns with our objectives.

Setting up a Cluster:

Configure and manage a Splunk® Index cluster for high availability and fault tolerance.

Understand the concepts of indexer clustering, replication factor, and search factor.

Commands & Multi-Site Deployments:

Master the CLI for advanced knowledge as it relates to clustering.

Explore commands for deploying Splunk® across multiple sites or regions.

Handling the Cluster:

Monitor and troubleshoot Splunk® clusters to ensure optimal performance.

Utilize cluster management tools and techniques for efficient administration.

Understand best practices for capacity planning and scaling.

Forwarder Management:

Implement effective strategies for managing Splunk® forwarders.

Configure data inputs, outputs, and deployment strategies for forwarders.

Notes on Search Head Clustering (SHC):

Explore the architecture and benefits of search head clustering.

Discuss search head clustering to distribute search workloads and enhance performance.

By the end of the Splunk® Architect course, participants will possess the knowledge and skills required to design, deploy, and maintain scalable Splunk® deployments. They will be equipped to optimize performance, ensure data availability, and effectively manage a Splunk® environment through hands-on exercises, practical examples, and real-world scenarios.
