statics NICs with Splunk

[Linh]

Hello, I'm a newbie with Splunk. I have a question.

How can I static and draw data from 4 NICs in one computer on Splunk?

Thanks for your reply, I will describe in detail my question.

I have 4 NICs on my computer and they are connected to 4 other computers. Each computer will sends " ping flood" to its of each NIC. Then, how can I collect number packets, bytes,... and draw them on my computer with Splunk

Hi @Linh .. on the system, there should be some logs which will have all the details about the ping flood on the NIC's. By using the Splunk Universal forwarder, you can monitor that logs and then once data reached splunk, you can run splunk search queries and understand the NIC's and their statistics. Let us know how it goes. thanks.

Hi @inventsekar, thanks for your advise, I try to read RX packets on each NIC on ubuntu and save it on log file, then I do it work and draw it on Splunk currently.

I have one more question. Can I ever clog or delay the chart by sending data from 4 computer? Something like: ping flood on each computer.

Hi @Linh your question was bit confusing.. i assumed that you have UF with 4 NIC's, you want to get statistics about the NIC's.. if so, pls check this post:
