Description
To support my client in Brussels, we are looking for a Splunk consultant to join a small team of Networking/IT experts.

- Work together with the other Splunk resources within the client to maintain this system (in production and in the lab) and make it evolve according to users requirements: implement specific filtering, dashboards, integrate new data sources or adapt processing for existing ones (eg due to software upgrades in the network).
- Deploy newer versions of the various components when appropriate: for bug fixes, to get relevant new features, etc.
- Recommend changes to the architecture when appropriate and implement them once approved.
- Maintain a clear documentation of the whole platform: components, versions, data flows, data sources, etc.

- Languages: Dutch and English (spoken and written)
Required:
- Expert level knowledge of the Splunk suite with ability to define the best suited architecture for the client's needs, install, configure, develop, monitor and troubleshoot the whole platform. More specifically:

- Searching, reporting and management of data and knowledge objects (big plus: Splunk Certified Power User certification)
- Creation and modification of custom apps
- Optionally: Splunk Enterprise Security
