Splunk Education | Lab Connections
Instructor-led and paid eLearning training includes hand-on lab activities. Make sure you can connect before class begins.
Overview
Connections to labs vary by course.
Review the connection test information below. Keep in mind, most connections issues are caused by restrictive networks. Make sure you are testing from the network you intend to use for class. You may need to work with your It/Network team to allow access or use a personal network.
All users should test with this URL: https://test.students.splunk.education
NOTE: Some classes require traffic to and from the site mld-deployer.splunk.education or slab-deployer.splunk.education. Please add this to your safe sites list. You will not be able to navigate directly to that site.
Virtual Training is conducted via Webex. Please download the Webex App as connection via a browser will not be possible.
