Hi

I have added these counters last week but the output queue length counter is not yet reflecting on the Splunk queries.

[perfmon://Network_Interface] 
counters = Bytes Received/sec;Bytes Sent/sec; Output Queue Length; Bytes Total/sec;
instances = *
interval = 900
object = Network Interface 
disabled=0

Why is it not reflecting? I have reloaded the server class 2 times now.

Hi,

You need to configure index in your inputs.conf
