Hi @Siddharth,

I suppose that you already configured your UF to send logs to your Indexers and that you already created an index to archive your data.

So, you have to install in that UF also the Splunk_TA_Windows Add-On (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/742) enabling the CPU utilization metrics.

Then you can run a search with cpu utilization that you can find in many apps as Splunk Monitoring Infrastructure dashboard app (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/5306) or others.

If you don't find anything that solves your need, I'll send you a dashboard.

Ciao.

Hi @gcusello 

 

Thanks for the reply but the problem with this solution is it will provide me the overall cpu utilization of the server but i need the cpu utilization of splunkd process on this server not the complete cpu utilization

Hi @Siddharth,

one of the scripts in the above Add-On (it should be "top") gives your the CPU utilization for each process, so you can filter the results for the "splunkd" process.

Ciao.
