Hello,

Is it possible to relate the issues displayed in Splunk UI (attached  below) to OS data or Splunk logs:

In other words,
Given the OS metrics(RAM,CPU,SWAP,....) of the servers hosting Splunk and Splunk logs, can we relate some trends in this data to below issues:

  • The percentage of high priority searches lagged (33%) over the last 24 hours is very high and exceeded the yellow thresholds (10%) on this Splunk instance. Total Searches that were part of this percentage=18. Total lagged Searches=6
  • The percentage of small buckets created over the last hour is high and exceeded the red thresholds  for index=...,  and possibly more indexes, on this indexer. At the time this alert fired, total buckets created=13, small buckets=11
  • The percentage of non high priority searches delayed (54%) over the last 24 hours is very high and exceeded the red thresholds (20%) on this Splunk instance. Total Searches that were part of this percentage=574144. Total delayed Searches=314696
  • Search peer down
  • Disk space/file system under this mount point ... is exceeding the limits 80%

 

Would really appreciate your response.
