I would like to thank my family and colleagues, who have always encouraged and supported me to follow my dreams, and my friends, who put up with all my crazy antics while I went on a Splunk exploratory journey and listened with patience to all the tips and tricks of Splunk that I shared with them.
Last but not least, I would like to express my gratitude to the entire team at Packt Publishing for giving me this opportunity.
