Splunk Search

searching for disk and network commands

Does anyone know how do I perform a search on the "top 10 processes by disk" which consists of the names as well as the total memory for the disks, in addition to the used and free space? Then for "top 10 processes by network", I need the names, sent(MB) as well as received(MB).

Have you looked at the Splunk Cisco firewall, *nux or Windows app? It has many default system, disk, network searches that may be a good place to start. You can also referr to the event types for examples from the manager.
Here is a Search.Winfreediskspace example from Windows app.
source=WMI:FreeDiskSpace NOT localhost | stats first(FreeMegabytes) as free last(FreeMegabytes) as oldfree by host Name | eval "Change from 24 hours ago (MB)" = tostring(free - oldfree, "commas") | fields -
