Wednesday (5/31)

  • Attended REU meeting on how to conduct research effectively
  • Communicated with other professors to determine a good starting point
  • Began reading a master's thesis related to the topic and took notes

Thursday (6/1)

  • Met with Dr. Kaczmarek via teams to discuss Splunk and possible avenues of research
  • Finished reading the thesis from the day prior
  • Started Splunk online training

Friday (6/2)

  • Continued Splunk online training videos
  • Looked for potential research articles and took note of a few different articles of interest
  • Read a research article about implementing Splunk Phantom and took notes

Week 2: (June 5th 2023 - June 9th 2023)

Monday (6/5)

  • Attended the RCR Training meeting

Tuesday (6/6)

  • Met with other REU researchers during the collaboration time in the morning
  • Created the mini presentation for the research paper I read last Friday
  • Listened to other's present their research findings
  • Presented mini presentation to the others in my lab group
  • Researched Bee-Bots and how they are used in computer science education
    • Began creating the short presentation for this


Wednesday (6/7)

  • Finished Bee-Bots presentation and research
  • Attended the Technical Writing / Good Presentations meeting
  • Was able to log onto Marquette's Splunk site
    • I was able to explore the site and see how it operated
    • Also continued to do research into how to best navigate the site
  • Started to read another research paper (that is hopefully more useful than the last)

Thursday (6/8)

  • Attended a meeting with everyone in my lab group
    • Presented my Bee-Bots research
    • Listened to other lab member's presentations
    • As a group we discussed how we can effectively use what we found in this research to help the teacher's come up with lesson plans to utilize these computer science education tools
  • Trying to get the free eLearning classes for Splunk
    • Just does not want to seem to want to work for me yet, still trying to sort that out
  • Began looking for more research papers that could potentially be useful

Friday (6/9)

  • Started reading another research paper
    • Link to article: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9752323
    • Entitled "Efficient Brute-force handling methodology using Indexed-Cluster Architecture of Splunk"
    • Article is fairly useful, and it talks about the capabilities of Splunk and how to perform effective searches
  • Still trying to figure out how to access the Splunk eLearning classes
    • Have been in contact with Marquette's Splunk representative, and it should be sorted out soon

Tuesday (6/13)

  • Met with my lab group for a few hours
    • Presented my research findings from the last week
    • Listened and engaged with my peer's presentations
    • Discussed what was going to happen for the next couple weeks and what needs to be prepared for next week
  • Continued trying to make Splunk work, but the Splunk representatives are seemingly nonrespondent at the moment :(
