What are the best practice searches for cloud monitoring?

[sloshburch]

I'd like to implement some basic searches for cloud monitoring without getting caught up in the differences between sourcetypes and field names.

Are there any basic searches that provide cloud monitoring without me having to deal with the complexities of the sourcetype differences? Something akin to the Performance Model of the Common Information Model, perhaps?
