Hi Friends,

I'm configuring mpstats command to get the each cpu core ideal value. 

I have configured below in bin folder:

cpucore_mpstat.sh

mpstat -P ALL

Input.cong:

# This script will collect cpu utilization per core from mpstat command
[script://./bin/cpucore_mpstat.sh]
disabled = false
interval = 120
source = server
sourcetype = cpucore_mpstat
index = pg_idx_whse_prod_events
_meta = entity_type::NIX service_name::WHSE environment::PROD

I can see the events like below: 

mpstats.png

I want red box highlighted column needs to display in dashboard.  Kindly help on this how to achieve this.

Hi @Jagadeesh2022 ,

you can use the kvform command (https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.2/SearchReference/Kvform), something like this:

<your-search>
| kvform field=CPU field="%idle"

Ciao.

@gcusello ,

Thanks for your suggestion. Its not working for me. 

Now my event is like below: 

Linux 3.10.0-1160.80.1.el7.x86_64 (aelg3.eu.pg.com)

05:57:31  PM  CPU  %idle

05:57:31  PM  all  95.37

05:57:31  PM  0  96.25

05:57:31  PM  95.54

05:57:31  PM  2  96.20

05:57:31  PM  3  95.14

05:57:31  PM  4  93.33

05:57:31  PM  5  95.74

 

Could you please suggest how to use regex and get column name and all values as output to display in dashboard? 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Jagadeesh2022,

regexes aren't usable for this request,

but why the result you have is different from your request?

in other words in what the result differs from your need?

Ciao.

Hi @gcusello ,

While I use this search :

index="pg_idx_whse_prod_events" source=server sourcetype=cpucore_mpstat
| kvform field=CPU field="%idle"

 

I'm getting below error : 

Error in 'SearchProcessor': Option 'field' should not be specified more than once.

 

My expected results should be: 

TimeCPU core%Idle
05:57:31  PMall95.37
05:57:31  PM096.25
05:57:31  PM195.54
05:57:31  PM296.20
05:57:31  PM395.14

 

Some host have 8 core so we will get 0,1,2,3,..7 rows, 

Some host have 32 core so we will get all, 0, 1,2,3,....30,31 rows

Please help me how to achieve this.

Thanks in advance.
