Turns out looking at <EM>cat /proc/cpuinfo</EM> isn't enough. It outputs sockets X cores per socket X threads, so 2 sockets with 8 cores each with 2 threads = 31(32) processors in <EM>cat /proc/cpuinfo</EM>. DMC is correct.</P> Wed, 11 Nov 2015 12:12:07 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/Distributed-Management-Console-Reporting-incorrect-amount-of-CPU/m-p/261412#M2492 mikaelbje 2015-11-11T12:12:07Z
