CPU Dashboard with Radial Gauge

Hy Guys,

i work since 3 Days with Splunk, now i was try to configure a Dashboard for a Server with the Radial Gauge Visualization.

But i dont know how, can anyone give me a example "search" code for this?
Server name: test-splunk , i have installed the Windows App, and Poll's the CPUTime every Second.

And now i will see the Radial Gauge in "Real Time" or every few seconds with the CPU % from the test-splunk server.

Thank You.

/edit

This is my search-code at this moment:
source=WMI:CPUTime host="test-splunk" PercentUserTime="*" | timechart avg(PercentUserTime)

I was try time range -1h to nothing, with this option i see a Column Grahpic from the last Hour.
When i Try the Radial Gauge i see only 0...when i change the Time Range to -1s, nothing happents, Radial Gauge is only 0.

greets

Here's an example based around the messages over 10 minutes in Splunk's internal log:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<dashboard>
  <label>testgauge</label>
  <row>
    <chart>
      <searchString>index=_internal | stats count </searchString>
      <title>internal</title>
      <earliestTime>rt-10m</earliestTime>
      <latestTime>rt</latestTime>
      <option name="charting.chart">radialGauge</option>
      <option name="count">10</option>
      <option name="displayRowNumbers">true</option>
    </chart>
  </row>
</dashboard>

You'll probably want to switch out the search for one which finds the CPUTime events, and then pipe to stats avg(CPUTime) or similar.
