Splunk ITSI

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.

please help me with the setup. TIA

Hi @PotatoDataUser 

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.

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.

Okay @PotatoDataUser , so you have created the KPI but it isnt populating? Are you able to see any data for that KPI in itsi_summary index?

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.
