While playing with EC2 instances, I have the Splunk_TA_nix
app deployed. The cpu.sh
returns nothing because sar
and mpstat
are not found on the EC2 host.
I understand that Linux has other ways to pull in system metrics, but things are obviously simpler if the same Splunk_TA_nix
could be used everywhere I have *nix.
Anyone solve this quirk?
@Burch - you've already hit the nail on the head... just install the war package on the system and the problem is solved.

Oh, so manually install sar
or mpstat
? I was hoping we were just missing some other cpu command from our cpu.sh script 😞
Building off my own sillyness and expanding on @wvonalt answer:
Looks like it's as simple as yum install sysstat
My peers also hooked me up with this link, good to share here: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/UnixAddOn/latest/User/Whatdataarecollected
