Hi Friends,

I'm configuring mpstats command to get the each cpu core ideal value.

I have configured below in bin folder:

cpucore_mpstat.sh

mpstat -P ALL

Input.cong:

# This script will collect cpu utilization per core from mpstat command
[script://./bin/cpucore_mpstat.sh]
disabled = false
interval = 120
source = server
sourcetype = cpucore_mpstat
index = pg_idx_whse_prod_events
_meta = entity_type::NIX service_name::WHSE environment::PROD

I can see the events like below:

I want red box highlighted column needs to display in dashboard. Kindly help on this how to achieve this.

Hi @Jagadeesh2022 ,

you can use the kvform command (https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.2/SearchReference/Kvform), something like this:

<your-search> | kvform field=CPU field="%idle"

Ciao.

@gcusello ,

Thanks for your suggestion. Its not working for me.

Now my event is like below:

Linux 3.10.0-1160.80.1.el7.x86_64 (aelg3.eu.pg.com)

05:57:31 PM CPU %idle

05:57:31 PM all 95.37

05:57:31 PM 0 96.25

05:57:31 PM 1 95.54

05:57:31 PM 2 96.20

05:57:31 PM 3 95.14

05:57:31 PM 4 93.33

05:57:31 PM 5 95.74

Could you please suggest how to use regex and get column name and all values as output to display in dashboard?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Jagadeesh2022,

regexes aren't usable for this request,

but why the result you have is different from your request?

in other words in what the result differs from your need?

Ciao.

Hi @gcusello ,

While I use this search :

index="pg_idx_whse_prod_events" source=server sourcetype=cpucore_mpstat
| kvform field=CPU field="%idle"

I'm getting below error :

Error in 'SearchProcessor': Option 'field' should not be specified more than once.

My expected results should be:

Time	CPU core	%Idle
05:57:31 PM	all	95.37
05:57:31 PM	0	96.25
05:57:31 PM	1	95.54
05:57:31 PM	2	96.20
05:57:31 PM	3	95.14

Some host have 8 core so we will get 0,1,2,3,..7 rows,

Some host have 32 core so we will get all, 0, 1,2,3,....30,31 rows

Please help me how to achieve this.

Thanks in advance.
