What you have learned so far about SPL is more than enough to make you look like a Splunk ninja. But there are many commands in SPL that may require a steeper learning curve. They solve varieties of problems, so it is worth learning them. For example, when a field has multiple values, it is treated as a multivalued field. There are host of commands to effectively make use of these multivalued fields. And there are commands that use machine learning algorithms to predict future values of a field and uncover text patterns from your data. In most cases, ...
