Splunk Buttercup Games Data Download
Margo Hoffer
Generally, the Splunk EDU courses provide that data on remote system, however, like OP, whenever we try to practice the labs 'after' completing the course, we do not have all the sample data sourcetypes with us.
I completely agree with @Upas02 that, Splunk should either use the TutorialData from Splunk Docs during the Virtual/Classroom training or make Splunk Edu data samples available to public for practice.
There is a subset of the Buttercup Games customer education data available, packaged for the search tutorial and other documentation examples. See Get the tutorial data into Splunk Enterprise in the Search Tutorial.
This tutorial uses data from Buttercup Games, a fictitious online store. The data includes weblogs, call center logs, and order system logs. Using the Game_store.zip data ensures that your results are consistent with the tutorial.
We wanted to allow users to play right away, without the need to sign up. Auth0 was a perfect choice. It was quite easy to use and gave us everything we needed. Not only did it allow many authentication options (think Google, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc) but Auth0 also generated great data and could send directly into Splunk. Here was the breakdown of how people chose to login.
If you were at .conf2015 last year you may remember we asked the audience to shake their phones, allowing us to collect accelerometer data via the HTTP Event Collector. This year we again collected HEC data but different fields. Here is what a part of an event looks like when you play a game:
The Splunk Cloud Platform outputs app has sslRootCAPath set in default/server.conf. It's recommended to name your app 000_uf_tls and set sslRootCAPath in local/server.conf in this new app, as this will ensure that it wins out over the Splunk Cloud Platform app. When structuring the file that you point sslRootCAPath to, the intermediate certificates go above the root certificates. Additionally, you can put comments with a hash mark (#Like this) above each certificate block so you can more easily keep track of what each certificate block is for. Your final CA combination should have both the Splunk Cloud Platform intermediate/root certificates (100_x_splunkcloud/default/stack_cacert.pem) and your own root/intermediate certificates inside of a single file that the 000_uf_tls app points to in local/server.conf. If done correctly, you will be able to secure your on-premise Splunk communications and also securely forward to Splunk Cloud Platform without any issues.
If you are required to use a passphrase on your private keys, sslPassword needs to be set in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/server.conf and cannot be handled within an app. This is specifically for the sslPassword set under sslConfig of server.conf. Additionally, you cannot have a passphrase on the private key of a client if you set up requireClientCert=true on a remote server, as the remote host will refuse to communicate with the client. For example, the deployment server will refuse to communicate with a universal forwarder. Enterprise systems will not be able to start up their web service, because Splunk Web is a client of Splunkd. Keep in mind that adding a passphrase greatly complicates administration of TLS (and again, doesn't work with requireClientCert) and anyone who has access to view the private key most likely also has access to decrypt the passphrase using splunkd and therefore access the private key anyway.

This session presents and demonstrates a system using Splunk and the Cisco Open SDN Controller for steering large data flows around firewalls and other devices that could disturb their performance while actively blocking threats.
Splunk Inc. is an American software company based in San Francisco, California,[2] that produces software for searching, monitoring, and analyzing machine-generated data via a web-style interface.[3]
Its software helps capture, index and correlate real-time data in a searchable repository, from which it can generate graphs, reports, alerts, dashboards and visualizations.[4][5] Splunk uses machine data for identifying data patterns,[6] providing metrics, diagnosing problems and providing intelligence for business operations. Splunk is a horizontal technology used for application management, security and compliance, as well as business and web analytics.[3]
In September 2013 the company acquired BugSense, a mobile-device data-analytics company.[14] BugSense provides "a mobile analytics platform used by developers to improve app performance and improve quality". It supplied a "software developer kit" to give developers access to data analytics from mobile devices that it managed from its scalable cloud platform.[15] The acquisition amount was undisclosed.
Splunk was recognized as a Leader in the 2020 Gartner Magic Quadrant for SIEM.[35] The Gartner report evaluates SIEM providers, and then provides a graph (the Magic Quadrant) with vendors plotted based on their ability to execute (the Y-Axis) and their completeness of vision (the X-Axis).[35] Splunk has been noted for its analytics and infrastructure monitoring, its ability to scale and index original, raw data, its infosec functions, and its multiple deployment options.[36][37]
Splunk's core offering collects and analyzes high volumes of machine-generated data. It uses an application programming interface (API) to connect to applications and devices.[44] It was developed for data reporting for executives outside a company's IT department.[45][46]
Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) provides security information and event management (SIEM) for machine data generated from security technologies such as network, endpoints, access, malware, vulnerability, and identity information. It is a premium application that is licensed independently.
In 2011, Splunk released Splunk Storm, a cloud-based version of the core Splunk product. Splunk Storm offered a turnkey, managed, and hosted service for machine data.[47] In 2013, Splunk announced that Splunk Storm would become a completely free service and expanded its cloud offering with Splunk Cloud.[48] In 2015, Splunk shut down Splunk Storm.[49]
In 2015, Splunk announced a Light version of the core Splunk product aimed at smaller IT environments and mid-sized enterprises.[51] Splunk debuted Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) in September 2015. ITSI leverages Splunk data to provide visibility into IT performance. Software analytics can detect anomalies and determine their causes and the areas it affects.[44]
In 2016, Google announced its cloud platform would integrate with Splunk to expand in areas like IT ops, security, and compliance.[54] The company also announced additional machine learning capabilities for several of its major product offerings, which are installed on top of the platform.[55][56] Splunk Cloud received FedRAMP authorization from the General Services Administration FedRAMP Program Management Office at the moderate level in 2019, enabling Splunk to sell to the federal government.[57] This allows customers to access Google's AI and ML services and power them with data from Splunk.[58] Also, by integrating with Google Anthos and Google Cloud Security Command Center, Splunk data can be shared among different cloud-based applications.[58] To help companies manage the shift to a multi cloud environment, Splunk launched its Observability Cloud, which combines infrastructure monitoring, application performance monitoring, digital experience monitoring, log investigation, and incident response capabilities.[58] In 2020, the company announced that Splunk Cloud is available on the Google Cloud Platform and launched an initiative with Amazon Web Services to help customers migrate on-premises Splunk workloads to Splunk Cloud on the AWS cloud.[59]
In 2018, Splunk introduced Splunk Industrial Asset Intelligence, which extracts information from IIoT(Industrial Internet of Things) data from various resources and presents its users with critical alerts.[63]
In 2019, Splunk announced new capabilities to its platform, including the general availability of Data Fabric Search and Data Stream Processor. Data Fabric Search uses datasets across different data stores, including those that are not Splunk-based, into a single view. The required data structure is only created when a query is run.[64]
Data Stream Processor is a real-time processing product that collects data from various sources and then distributes results to Splunk or other destinations. It allows role-based access to create alerts and reports based on data that is relevant for each individual.[64] In 2020, it was updated to allow it to access, process, and route real-time data from multiple cloud services.[58] Also, in 2019, Splunk rolled out Splunk Connected Experiences, which extends its data processing and analytics capabilities to augmented reality (AR), mobile devices, and mobile applications.[65]
Splunk worked with McLaren Racing for several years, evaluating the performance data pulled from the nearly 300 sensors on every racecar, before becoming McLaren's official technology partner in February 2020.[75][76] The partnership resulted in Splunk deployed across the McLaren Group.[77][75] This included using Splunk to interpret data from McLaren's e-sports team.[75] As part of the partnership, Splunk's logo was added to the sidepod and cockpit surrounds of the MCL35 racecar.[78][79]
In November 2018, Splunk signed a sponsorship deal with the Trek-Segafredo professional road cycling team; the partnership started in 2019. Splunk replaced CA Industries as the company's technology partner.[80] Splunk provides data analysis for the company, including analysis on riders, coaches, and mechanics.[81] Team jerseys, bikes, and vehicles carry Splunk branding.[81] Splunk also participates in Trek's race hospitality program.[81]
