Query to monitor linux server health.

[Jewatson17]

Is there a base query that can give me the server health of my linux servers? I know Windows servers have index=perfmon.

hey you can try installing splunk add-on for linux
https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/833/

Install this add-on on the linux machine on which you want to monitor server health.
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/UnixAddOn/5.2.4/User/InstalltheSplunkAdd-onforUnixandLinux#Inst...

Enable the inputs and then restart the splunk server
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/UnixAddOn/5.2.4/User/Enabledataandscriptedinputs

and then on the splunk GUI
search for index=os

For more info, refer this doc
let me know if this helps!
