What's in this manual?

We've designed the Knowledge Manager manual to show you how to best use and extend Splunk so that it works with your data in a manner that fulfills the needs of your enterprise.

You'll want to consult this manual as you optimize, maintain, and expand your Splunk deployment over time.

There's a lot of important conceptual information in here, as well a number of step-by-step procedures, all designed to help you make your Splunk deployment the best it can be. You'll learn:

• How indexing works in Splunk.
• How to manage and maintain Splunk "knowledge objects" such as events, event types, fields, source types, tags, and transactions.
• Best practices for working with fields.
• Strategies for grouping conceptually related events into transactions.
