@balu1211 - If you are new to Splunk, here is my general advise to find answers yourself or form questions better:

In Splunk if you have any requirement, you search for answers in modules:

Data onboarding:
- Do I have data for what I'm asking in Splunk?
  - And ask about the product name and not the use-case first.
  - For example, CPU performance information is totally different for Linux OS, Windows OS, and Oracle DB, etc, etc.
  - So, ask specific, search with specific keywords of product.
- If Yes, go to the next module. If No, search for "how to collect data for X in Splunk".
Visualization:
- I have the following data in Splunk, how to visualize it in Splunk?
- 1. I have a specific requirement to create chart:
  - Write your own search query and build a dashboard.
- 2. I want something out of the box.
  - Search on https://splunkbase.splunk.com/ for an App for that specific data. And install it.

I hope this helps!!! Upvote if it does!!!
