Hi

I am running SoS on a Debian install. I have systat loaded but when I try and view cpu/memory util, I get the no results 'inspect' show

Any ideas?

Thanks

You need to enable the 'ps_sos.sh' scripted input for that view to populate. Take a look at this Splunk Answer for details on how to do this.

Issues with 'lsof_sos.sh' have been reported lately, but we haven't had the opportunity to dig deeper into them or reproduce the problem in-house yet. You may want to look up that Splunk Answer I just linked and use the work-around provided if you find out that manually running $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk cmd $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/sos/bin/lsof_sos.sh yields no output.

Actually that still didn't fix the file descriptor usage view 😞

Many thanks.....

Now you have mentioned it, when I click Sos -> Resource Usage -> File Descriptor Usage - it falshes up a screen for a second and I saw that file name lsof_sos.sh in bold but didn't have time to read the text around it before the usage page loaded.

I enabled all the scripts in the manager for sos in the end

Thanks

For file descriptor usage, you need to enable 'lsof_sos.sh'. You'll find these requirements explained in the README file of the app or in the "Learn More" panel of the respective views. We always point out post-installation actions needed to enable a view in that panel 🙂

Many Thanks, That worked.

Is there a list of what scripts need enabling as the same thing happens with file descriptor usage

Thanks
