Does anyone have a sample CSV file with server health data (timestamp, CPU, etc) that I can index in Splunk to test operational analytics?

Hi,

Could anyone please provide some information on the below?
If you have an excel/csv file with server health details for every 1 or 5 minutes that includes server information for positive and negative events (Ex: server downtime, server odd behavior etc.)

You need to supply some more information. What are you looking to do with the data? With csv files, you can set up file/directory monitoring to import changes to the file into Splunk.

Import file into splunk using "add data":
Configure it as a csv sourcetype.
Select the index you want to put it into (sounds like "main" will be fine because this appears to be your first installation)
Use splunk processing language (search) to perform operational analytics - this part is up to you to understand but commands like stats, chart, table, and timechart will be most beneficial for you to understand and use.

I'm looking for a sample csv or excel file with server data (like CPU, timestamp, network input/output etc.) for operational analytics. The file containing both positive and negative server events (events where server had no issues and events that caused downtime or impacted the server).
I'm planning to use the sample file to do the test in Splunk. Appreciate your help. Thanks!

Following are three things I could think of for getting/generate Server performance KPI data (sample/live/actual)

1) If you are on Splunk Enterprise 7 or higher, you can explore Metrics Index with Sample CSV data and steps to upload the same from Splunk Documentation: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Metrics/GetMetricsInOther
2) Eventgen app from Splunkbase can be used to schedule dummy data generation as per your need.
3) If you are running Splunk Enterprise on your personal machine, CPU, Memory and other Performance KPIs from your personal machine can be directly fed to Splunk. Following is a documentation for Windows Local Performance Monitoring using Splunk
