Hey everyone! We had some great questions during this Tech Talk in June.
Recapping for all!
Q: What is the difference between this add-on and the Splunk app\ add-on for Infrastructure which also includes Linux \ Unix monitoring?
A: This TA collects data via shell scripts, and creates Splunk events. The add for infrastructure collects data via a collected agent and the data lands in Splunk as a metric.
Q: Does the Nix TA put performance data into a metrics type index?
A: This nix TA puts data into a Splunk index as an event, not a metric.
Q: So should we move this data to the index of our choice or should we keep it in main?
A: It's best to move this data to an index of your choice.
Q: So we would do that in the input.conf of the Splunk_nix_ta folder. Correct?
A: Correct! When you create the inputs.conf in your local folder, make sure to include the index=[your index] field under each input stanza.
Q: When we refer pctCPU, how do we segregate if it's for 1 core or 12 core or 24 core?
A: The cpu data comes in with one event per core, and another event that is an aggregate of all cores.
