Utilizing Sum, Average etc in ITSI Generic KPI
I have been having some trouble with Generic KPI setup in splunk ITSI
I have a query that returns data in the form of
Channel Count
Channel1 1000
Channel2 800
Channel3 1200 and so on
So I wanted to setup a KPI that runs this query with the alert value being sum of all the "Count", heres how I configured it.
I enabled a 7 day backfill, I dont have any split by entity rules
I am able to see the alert value is being captured in the generated search from the KPI builder.
But i am unable to see any KPI data or values being captured even when I let it sit for a while.
please help me with the setup. TIA

Are you wanting to break it down by Channel? Or are you looking for just a sum of all channels?
Please let me know how you get on and consider adding karma to this or any other answer if it has helped.
Regards
Will

Hi @livehybrid ,
For now I just want the sum of counts of all channels. I want to utilize the sum functionality of the KPI builder rather than modifying the query.
The only way I know how to do it for individual channels is to just modify the query searching for the said channel. I would really appreciate any alternative method on this.
Thanks.

I am able to see the KPI logging the alert value accurately for this service.
I just dont see the alert value being reflected in the graph for thresholding.
