catch_mili — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 11:10:04 GMT

I am monitoring, couple of servers using Splunk Universal Forwarder.
Hence, I would like to have CPU,MEM,Disk & Network statistics should be monitored by those forwarders.
So that using single dashboard, I come to know all fowarders perfmon details.
How can I do that ?
Thanks an advance.

You push the Splunk for Unix and Linux TA app to all of your forwarders. They will collect and forward OS metrics to your indexer, and the dashboards there will show all hosts.
