Summary

As you have seen in this chapter, the Splunk GUI provides a rich interface for working with search results. We really scratched just the surface and will cover more elements as we use them in later chapters.

Something new in this edition was the discussion of Splunk Cloud. With Splunk Cloud, we can avail the features of Splunk Enterprise. It also provides access to numerous apps on Splunkbase and enables to you build customized apps.

In the next chapter, we will dive into the nuts and bolts of how searching works so that you can make efficient searches to populate the cool reports that we will make in Chapter 3, Tables, Charts, and Fields, and beyond.
