Sourcetype="cpu" Not displaying any Values

When I search index="os" host=xxxyyzzz* sourcetype="cpu" , I'm getting this result:

10/8/13
2:59:13.000 PM

CPU pctUser pctNice pctSystem pctIowait pctIdle
host=xxxyyzz03 Options| sourcetype=cpu Options| source=cpu Options

If I search hosts other than the ones I'm searching, I get a list of values under CPU, pctUser, etc:

10/8/13
3:01:40.000 PM

CPU pctUser pctNice pctSystem pctIowait pctIdle
01 9.7 ? 32.6 4.5 53.2
02 1.6 ? 2.7 0.0 95.7
03 0.0 ? 0.0 0.0 100.0

06 0.1 ? 4.1 0.0 95.8
07 0.0 ? 2.5 0.0 97.5

all 17.8 ? 21.3 0.1 60.7

host=xxxyyzz04 Options| sourcetype=cpu Options| source=cpu Options

Any idea on what could be causing this?

Thanks in advance!

If this is a Linux box, is the sysstat package installed? In the CLI if you run cpu.sh from the bin dir, do you see results?
