Training

Splunk offers a number of EDU training courses to help you get up to speed on how to make the most of your deployment. Completion of these courses is an essential building block to success. To explore all the education options, go to the course catalog and filter by certification, role, delivery method, and more. For more assistance understanding the course offerings, what certifications are available, and the perks included in the new learning rewards program, review the Splunk Education Student Handbook or get in touch with your account manager. 

If you haven’t already, take the free Using Splunk Synthetic Monitoring course to further build upon the topics covered in this guide. 

You can also view the full Observability course catalog if you want to master products across the entire product suite.

Technical help - OnDemand Services (ODS)

ODS consultants work with you directly to help you get answers to general questions, get insight on best practices, explore functionality, deploy or review the health of your instance, and implement your use cases. Most customers have OnDemand Services included as a part of their license purchase, but they do expire at the end of each quarter. Use them as early as possible in the quarter by following the instructions from the OnDemand Services Portal End User Guide.

If you cannot open a case or do not know if you have OnDemand access, contact your Splunk Customer Success Manager/Advocate or Account Team or the ODS team at OnDemand-Inquires@splunk.com for clarification and assistance.

Project-based services

Project-Based Services are much more involved, typically larger-scale services engagements compared to OnDemand Services. With these, you will work with a Splunk Engagement Manager to determine and finalize the scope of the project. Once everything is signed off, we will work with you in lockstep to deliver on the agreed-upon project. If you’d like to explore options here, please get in touch with us via this contact form or get in touch with your account manager

Support

Even the most savvy customer will need a little help. Whether it’s error messages, unexplained or unexpected behaviors, or incidents and outages, Technical Support is the first line of defense for all of your post-sales issues. Splunk Support Engineers will partner with you to ensure your environment is optimized to drive your journey with a
focus on long-term technical health, so you can realize your ROI as soon as possible.
