I'm struggling to understand how I would get the output of a linux command such as vmstat or iostat into splunk where i can use the output to create a time graph.

Can someone point me in the right direction at all?

Thanks Steve.

If you're interested in specifically in the output of vmstat and iostat and other standard *nix monitoring scripts, maybe you would want to look into leveraging the work already done in the Splunk App for Unix and Linux. There's an Add-on that you deploy and configure on your forwarders to gather data on those remote systems, and there's docs about the App and the AddOn on docs.splunk.com
