Get started with Lumi

This section walks you through the key processes in Imply Lumi with a series of tutorials. The tutorials use sample web traffic data from a fictional online store. For details about the dataset and its format, see the tutorial data overview.

Each tutorial builds on the previous one, so we recommend completing them in order. By the end of the series, you will be able to ingest, transform, and query your own data in Lumi, plus perform federated searches against existing Splunk® indexes.
