In this course, Getting your Data into Splunk Effortlessly, you will learn about the many ways there are to configure data inputs into your Splunk Enterprise deployment. These methods include monitoring folders or files, using network inputs (UDP/TCP), using scripted inputs, and even using agentless solutions like the HTTP Event Collector. This course is critical to your understanding and use of Splunk as clearly Splunk is only as valuable as it is complete with its data from your...

In this course, you will learn all the details surrounding the parsing process in Splunk operations. This is a phase of operation where data masking, data rerouting, and data transformations can take place. This course teaches Splunk administrators to perform these (and other management tasks) with ease inside of Splunk. This course builds directly upon the other two Splunk courses here at ACI Learning.

This series explores the practical application of DNS, the Domain Naming System. We demonstrate using DNS records to support websites, mail servers, and other services. Other topics addressed include DNS security, replication, and popular server software including BIND and Microsoft Windows DNS.

BGP is the protocol that routes the internet. This show will introduce you to BGP as the protocol of the internet, how to get it up and running and then verify that you have BGP working.

The GNS3 Essentials short series that will help you to get GNS3 up and running so that you get networking devices virtualized so that you can simulate a lab environment or a production scenario. You will learn what is required, as well as how to install it for your best use. Using Dynamips images (Cisco IOS) and Cisco VIRL images, you'll see how to add devices to make GNS3 more functional.

When you are planning, creating, and managing networks, some of the tasks can be repetitive and time consuming. Scripting allows you to automate these tasks to allow for reproducibility, scaling to larger systems, and collaborating with others use versioning. In this series, we will see how to utilize Python to make your life as a networking professional a little easier. See you there.

In this series we will be covering the use of network mapper utility aptly called Nmap. This series aims to give the viewer a firm grasp of the concepts and applications inherent to Nmap, such as Host Discovery, Port Scanning, Service/OS/Version Detection, and the Nmap Scripting Engine(NSE) for the purposes of security and general network administration.

In this series, we will take a look at creating functions as a way to collect logic into a reusable chunk. If you want to explore how to create and utilize functions to make your code more readable and maintainable, then join us there!

When you first start programming, solving problems can be difficult. Since the entire impetus for learning programming is to solve a multitude of problems with a computer, the difficulties can lead to frustration. However, in this course, we are going to approach a problem with a method that can help alleviate those issues. Join us as we develop our problem-solving toolkit!

If you still are working on honing your programming skills, then building something simple can help that skill development along. In this series, we are going to build another simple game that allow you to flex your programming muscles. See you there!

Learning a the fundamentals of programming is very empowering, but the next question is how can I use it? We are going to use some of the skills and knowledge that you have acquired to build a childhood game, Hangman, on in the command line environment. Let's get started!

In this series, we take a look at common formats for saving, reading, and shuffling data around such as Comma Separated Values (CSV), JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), YAML Ain't Markup Language (YAML), and eXtensible Markup Language (XML). If you want to know more about these data formats as well as how to interact with these different data representation using Python, then we will see you there!
