Timechart for CPU and Memory Utilisation

Hi,

I have a few Windows servers which I want to correlate CPU and Memory perfromance over a time chart for each server. What is the best way to achieve this? Would I need to perform a search with a subsearch? or join two searches together?

The issue is that the field for the CPU value and Memory value is called "Value" in both events.

switch 'sourcetype' for 'counter'. Or if you can only spliy by one field (don't remember, no splunk available right now), you can eval host + counter together like so;

... | eval hostcounter = host . counter | timechart span=1h avg(Value) by hostcounter | ...

/K

I get the the following error when I try to run that command:

Error in timechart command: The argument sourcetype is invalid.

The search is as follows:

host=server1 OR host=server2 counter="% Processor Time" OR counter="Available Bytes" | timechart span=1h avg(Value) by host,sourcetype
