Hello I have this search
| rest splunk_server=MSE-SVSPLUNKI01 /services/server/status/resource-usage/hostwide
| eval cpu_usage = cpu_system_pct + cpu_user_pct
| where cpu_usage > 10

I want to this search to give a graph visualization of total cpu_usage every 4 hours.

You can modify your search to aggregate cpu_usage over 4-hour intervals and visualize it.

Hi @SN1 

You can achieve this with the following search - please see screenshot below for actual example output too.

 

index="_introspection" component=Hostwide earliest=-4h host=<yourHostname>
| eval cpu_usage = 'data.cpu_system_pct' + 'data.cpu_user_pct' 
| timechart span=5m avg(cpu_usage) as avg_cpu_usage

I dont think the other answer provided would work because the REST endpoint does not output a timeseries, its a one-time view of this data.

Please let me know how you get on and consider accepting this answer or adding karma this answer if it has helped.
Regards

Will

That is fine, just set host=<yourIndexer> after index=_introspection and you should get this.
