?? If you’ve ever worked with Splunk, you know the challenge
When you’re handed the task of administrating a Splunk instance that someone else configured, it can feel like a detective mission! ?? Most of the time, the previous setup wasn't done with best practices in mind (or with the same level of knowledge you bring to the table ??).
You end up spending hours digging through configurations, figuring out how things are connected, which machines are talking to the instance, what sourcetypes are being used, and what inputs have been set up. It’s overwhelming!
And let’s be honest—taking over an instance you didn’t configure can be HARD. You might even find yourself thinking, “Where do I start?”
Well, here's my take: a good place to begin is by checking if Splunk best practices were followed. But then we hit another bump:
?? What exactly are the official best practices for Splunk?
Ask around, and you’ll probably get someone’s personal list of practices they've picked up over their career. But it’s rare to find a full, comprehensive list of ALL best practices in one place.

That’s where I come in. ??
I’ve put together a living list of Splunk best practices based on official trainings I’ve taken, and I’m constantly updating it as I learn more, take new courses, and connect with others in the field. Is it complete? No, and it never will be—but it’s as thorough as it can be right now.
Take advantage and have a look at the repository itself. There are a lot of useful things there, and I'll be adding more over time.
?? On top of that, I want to shout out to Aplura, LLC, which has an amazing resource page filled with best practices that’s been invaluable to me over the years.
One of the best things about the Splunk community is how we support each other. So, I encourage you to share these resources—whether it's with your Interns, Junior team members, or fellow Splunk enthusiasts. ??
Trust me, anyone starting their journey with Splunk would love to have these documents in hand!
