Hi @_Raj 

Are you referring to Splunk servers specifically or other servers in your estate? 

You can see the usage of a full Splunk server (not a Universal Forwarder) using the _introspection logs, such as: 

index=_introspection sourcetype=splunk_resource_usage component=Hostwide| timechart avg("data.normalized_load_avg_1min") as normalized_load_avg_1min by host

If you want metrics for your other servers then you could look at installing the Splunk Add-on for Unix and Linux TA (Assuming you're using Linux!)

What servers? Splunk components? Or just any general servers?

For Splunk components you should be able to access Splunk's own telemetry within the Monitoring Console (or open the reports contained therein in search (the magnifying glass icon below a widget on the dashboard) to see which data it's powered by).

For external servers you have to first ingest the data into Splunk. There are several methods of ingesting telemetry data depending on the source and available transport means - from scripted inputs on UF, through otel collector to polling SNMP.
