yes .. discontinued..

You will have to use Splunk App for Infrastructure: https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/3975/

I will upgrade Splunk and SAI both. Splunk 7.1.x has some Windows metrics issues (upgrade to 7.2 or later).

dagarwal_splunk · ‎05-06-2020

For Windows, Do you have "_meta = entity_type::Windows_Host" in UF Perfmon inputs.conf stanza?

dagarwal_splunk · ‎04-30-2020

Check if you see any error or failed messages in logs: index="_internal"

dagarwal_splunk · ‎04-29-2020

You need to increase the "monitoring_calculation_window" for in "collectors.conf" and restart Splunk. If its Linux entity - increase the "os" stanza For Windows - increase the "perfmon" stanza Data is coming every 5 minutes (300 sec), I will keep the value between 450 to 600. This will make sure that SAI searches last 450-600 sec in past for the latest data.

dagarwal_splunk · ‎04-22-2020

You need Processor.* metrics for Windows entity discovery. Are they disabled in your inputs.conf. monitoring_calculation_window is how many seconds to look in past for the new entity. It was set to 90 sec. If there is some data lag of more than 90 sec, entity won't be discovered. Solution is to increase this number if not working for you.

dagarwal_splunk · ‎04-21-2020

Can you answer some questions: Do you see Processor.* metrics for your Windows hosts? For this search on windows host, what is latest timestamp with data? (last data was 1min , 2min or 3min ago when you run the search? 😞 | mstats avg(_value) WHERE metric_name=Processor.%_Idle_Time AND index=em_metrics AND host=mywindows* span=30s What version of SAI do you have?

dagarwal_splunk · ‎04-20-2020

Increase the "monitoring_calculation_window" for "perfmon" in collectors.conf to something like 300 and restart Splunk

dagarwal_splunk · ‎04-16-2020

If you are using Splunk Add-on for Linux and Unix, it has to be converted to metrics format using props.conf and transforms.conf and then indexed to Splunk's metrics index.

dagarwal_splunk · ‎04-16-2020

Where did you put your collectd.conf file that you mentioned ..?

dagarwal_splunk · ‎04-16-2020

I meant Splunk UF do not forward metrics for linux machines. It does forward both logs and metrics for windows.

dagarwal_splunk · ‎04-16-2020

There are two types of data collected: Logs & Metrics. Windows : Logs --> Splunk UF Windows : Metrics -->Splunk UF (perfmon inputs.conf) Linux: Logs --> Splunk UF (same as Windows) Linux: Metrics --> Collectd Metrics is required for entity discovery in SAI.

dagarwal_splunk · ‎04-16-2020

hi, You are mixing up windows and linux data collection. "perfmon" inputs in UF is only for Windows metrics. You need to have "collectd" installed for Linux metrics. Splunk UF only forwards logs for Linux machines. What version of collectd do you have? Also, you don't need SAI add-on on UF.

dagarwal_splunk · ‎03-18-2020

That might be due to data lag.. Fix the lag or increase the monitoring window further..

dagarwal_splunk · ‎03-17-2020

Not a big issue.. SAI just adds some extra dimensions like os_version and it could not find it for your machine.. You can also add it in collectd.conf manually if you really need it.

dagarwal_splunk · ‎03-17-2020

SAI was looking 90sec in past to see if any new entities was found. For some reason, your Machine 2 and Machine 3 has data lag of more than 90 sec. That's why we doubled the time to 180sec. You can keep it at 180s without issues. It shows inactive when it didn't see any new data in the monitoring window.. Maybe figure why there is lag as well and fix it as well...

dagarwal_splunk · ‎03-17-2020

This might be due to lag in data coming in .. Can you try to update collectors.conf in SAI? Change the "monitoring_calculation_window" to 180 for "os" and restart Splunk..

dagarwal_splunk · ‎03-17-2020

Metrics data is sent by collectd not UF for Linux machines.. So, I guess you ran the "Add Data" script on 3 machines and you only see 1 entity. But, you have metrics data from all 3 machines?

dagarwal_splunk · ‎03-16-2020

you do have metrics data in Splunk.. what version of SAI do you have? Do you have any entities in SAI?

dagarwal_splunk · ‎03-16-2020

What are the search results for Step 2?

dagarwal_splunk · ‎03-10-2020

You want to add custom dimensions for each entity after it is discovered in SAI? Manually/Automatically? Based on any field like host?

dagarwal_splunk · ‎02-26-2020

The Overview dashboard for process looks only last 5 minutes for all the metrics. You can also look into "Analysis" page to see the graphs for the process metrics. Here you can also split by dimensions like pid, process_name etc.. and set alerts as well. Right now, you cannot set alert on SAI for process stopped/not running. Alerts won't fire when data stop coming for a particular process.

dagarwal_splunk · ‎02-26-2020

All the other ids are for the top processes that you might have started for a short time in the past and stopped..

dagarwal_splunk · ‎02-26-2020

Are you using SAI's collectd processmon plugin? How are you getting those process data?
