Getting Data In

CPU Performance Monitoring in Splunk Cloud

Hi There,

I use a Splunk Cloud instance with Universal Forwarders installed on each server. From here I have edited the inputs.conf file to enable the [perfmon://CPU] stanza.

I am wondering if there are any out-of-the-box dashboards or recommended searches for putting this monitoring to use.

All information I have been able to find online is in regards to an EOL add-on (Splunk App for Infrastructure) or Splunk On-Premise instances (This is a problem I have faced since beginning work on Splunk, huge lack of documentation for Splunk Cloud vs On-Prem)

Thank you for any help in advance,

Jamie

@jamie1 - Here is generic guidance that will boost your Splunk journey.

  • For Data collection, you should look for Add-ons on Splunkbase.
  • For dashboards, you should look for Apps on Splunkbase.
  • Generally, these Apps and add-ons work the same on On-prem vs Cloud.
    • (And that's why you don't see much difference in documentation, as there isn't much difference)

 

Regarding this dashboards, this is something you can try - https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/CPWindowsDash/latest/CP/About

But if this is just regarding CPU performance, you can also try create your own based on your requirement.

 

I hope this helps!!! Kindly upvote if it does!!!

Hi There,

I appreciate the generic guidance, but it isn't really relevant to my question.

I am trying to find out how I can display CPU performance metrics, via the perfmon stanza.

Sorry if my question wasn't clear,

Jamie
