Help Creating Splunk Queries
I need assistance creating Splunk queries in order to create a Security Dashboard. I am looking for top ten search queries for the following security tools: Powerbroker, Palo Alto FW/IDS, Ironport Mail, Tripwire, Qualys, Nessus, McAfee, Vulnerabilities, Windows and Linux Security Logs. Basically any great search queries to get a overall security awareness dashboard.

You need to set up log collection first. After that you can learn queries.
Splunk need to normalise those log (supported format) from various sources before any search can be fruitful e.g. identifier for each log fields and their representation of its purposes. See the use of CIM to normalize data at search time http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/CIM/4.3.1/User/UsetheCIMtonormalizedataatsearchtime
Assuming you settled those setup already, the search will revolve minimally on the use to shiw the top threat and activities trends as far as I see. Kind of those dashboard report on top threat in ip, country, blacklisted actor, attack type, target, failed attempt, "near misses" like blocks on targets, etc...from a wkly, mthly and annual stats. The example in the cheatsheet may help - looking at the reporting and fields section examples. http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.1.7/SearchReference/ListOfPopularSearchCommands

Logs have been normalized and everything is setup and ready for searching. I just need to create a dashboard showing top threats by ip, country, blacklisted actor, attack type, target, failed attempt, "near misses" like blocks on targets, etc...from a wkly, mthly and annual stats. At least 5 queries per security tool should suffice.
