index=os sourcetype="cpu" minutesago=15 | eval human_readable_time=strftime(_time, "%Y-%d-%m %H:%M:%S") |
table host, human_readable_time, pctUser, pctIdle

It work fine on Splunk 4.5 version but i am not getting data on 4.2.3 version, i am not getting data for pctUser and pctIdle fields

index=os sourcetype="cpu" minutesago=15 | multikv forceheader=1 | eval human_readable_time=strftime(_time, "%Y-%d-%m %H:%M:%S") | table host, human_readable_time, pctUser, pctIdle

Which version of Splunk are you running? 4.3.1 is the latest.
