Course Overview

The Implementing Splunk Data Stream Processor (DSP) 1.2 course by Splunk is designed for experienced Splunk administrators and data engineers who are new to Splunk DSP and aim to master real-time data processing at scale. This instructor-led training prepares learners for advanced data orchestration tasks and aligns with the skills required for Splunk certification pathways, particularly for roles such as Data Engineer, Observability Architect, and Security Analytics Specialist. With over 18,000 enterprises using Splunk to manage machine data, demand for DSP expertise is growing, especially in cloud-native and hybrid environments where real-time data transformation is critical. The course ensures professionals can deploy and manage DSP clusters to streamline data ingestion, enrichment, and routing across complex ecosystems.

Students engage in hands-on labs conducted in a Linux-based environment, where they configure and deploy a full Splunk DSP cluster using official tooling such as scloud and the DSP UI. Key technologies covered include Apache Kafka, Amazon S3, Splunk SignalFx, Kubernetes, and the Splunk REST API, with a strong focus on building pipelines using SPL2 and the DSP canvas. Learners construct end-to-end data workflows, including a real-world project where they ingest Kafka streams, enrich data using Splunk lookups and KV Store, apply transformations, and route observability data—logs, metrics, and traces—to appropriate Splunk destinations. The lab exercises emphasize practical skills such as pipeline backup, scaling DSP clusters, and troubleshooting service issues.

This course prepares candidates for Splunk certification exams that validate expertise in data stream processing, recognized by leading organizations in finance, healthcare, and technology sectors. Certified professionals report average salary increases of up to 20%, reflecting the high value placed on real-time data engineering skills. Koenig Solutions enhances learning with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling and access to official Splunk courseware, ensuring a structured, hands-on experience. Upon completion, participants are equipped to design scalable, production-grade data pipelines, positioning them for roles in cloud observability, security operations, and advanced analytics within modern data architectures.
