Hi everyone, i have an Enterprise instance installed on a Windows machine. I am trying to monitor the CPU performance of the machine on which the instance is on so that i can generate an alert whenever the CPU exceeds 90% performance. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!

Hello @NickNguyen ,

On the Enterprise instance itself, you can find the Monitoring Console that ships OOTB with the Splunk Enterprise package. You can navigate to Settings > Monitoring Console > Resource Usage > CPU Usage: Instance dashboard and that'll help you identify the CPU usage of the instance.

From the panel also, you can open the search by clicking the magnifying lens icon when you hover through the panel and set an alert as per the required threshold. 

 

Thanks,
Tejas.
