SplunkTalk Podcast

Hal and Burch's virtual galivants at .conf20 wouldn't be possible without...conf! And .conf20 wouldn't be possible without the GEMs of Splunk! Two such GEMs join us for our 5th .conf20 SplunkTalk broadcast: Ben Dearinger (BenFuego) & Sarah Mills (SMills) of the Global Event Marketing (GEM) team. Besides hearing behind the scenes stories, this gaggle of geese discuss Burch's big .conf20 bingo card win and Hal's chicken wings. Oh, and thanks to Gwen Stefani for being our opening act.

Join Burch and Hal (Hal & Burch?) as we return to the topic of inheriting a deployment with a couple of Splunk OGs: Matt Ness and Malcolm Moore. They are some of the original authors of the "Inherit a Splunk Enterprise Deployment" manual in docs, and we wanted to get them on record about The Way Things Were.

Inheriting a Splunk deployment can be daunting. It's like buying a house that's already got a family inside. But instead of people, there's data. And instead of furniture, there's knowledge objects. And instead of love, there's SPL...wait, that is love. Ok, nevermind.

Join Hal and Burch as they sit down with a party of Splunkers that all have first hand experience with inheriting a Splunk deployment. Tips, tricks, and best practices rain on this fiesta thanks to guests Andre Pietsch, Brian Cusick, David Paper, and Mark Houston-Ludlam.
